Hello, Just wanted to mention that if there's a way that Bluebeam could be used within the Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) opposed to the .pdf related tools that Autodesk provides within ACC, I believe a lot of people would prefer to use your tools instead. This would require integrating Bluebeam into ACC's cloud…
Hello, Does Bluebeam have any intentions of pursuing a Fedramp government offering? Does Bluebeam have solid documentation on how to disable cloud functionality? This article referenced these support threads: How to disable access to Bluebeam services | Bluebeam Technical Support We've got a customer who wants to use…
Updates below What's up ya'll? I am on a Windows PC, Revu 21.4. I do not have any access to the tool chest keyboard shortcut "alt + x". All other keyboard shortcuts I have used operate just fine. I've reached out to Bluebeam support and also just did a complete uninstall and reinstall of the program. Updates February 7th,…
What's up ya'll? I am trying to find an efficient method to run multiple Bluebeam instances on one project file so that one instance (on one screen) is my active takeoff/markups and the other instance (second screen) live updates those markups. Does such a thing exist? I am an electrical estimator and work on a variety of…
What's up, ya'll? This is a two part problem, probably related to each other. I'm on Revu x64 Complete and I updated to 21.4. I'm now having a consistent issue when I have more than one instance open where I am unable to edit my markups in the markups list. This has also happened once with only one instance open. You'll…
Please turn status settings into an importable files like tool chests/btx files or hatch patterns/bhx files. It will make things easier when you have a user that prefers their own profile instead of the company provided profile. Currently, if the company's default statuses change, the user will need to load a new profile…
We review quite some documents from a supplier. If I send a document for review via Bluebeam, reviewers give their comment. In the final meeting to discuss all the comments, sometimes a comment is rejected. In that case it would be great if I can delete the comment directly in the meeting, instead that I have to ask the…
We all know and love the ability to automatically create page labels. However there is no way to search for page labels besides adding a markup to the pages and filtering to it in the Markup List. If there was a option in the search section to search for page labels it would increase the efficiency of our searches and make…
I open and review a lot of legal contracts using Bluebeam. It would be nice to have an option to have an audio playback feature, like on Word, that identifies and reads the text for those that are visually impaired.
If I have my markups collapsed by page, then set a markup to a status (i.e. complete), the entire Markups List will expand.

Hi, is there a way to add an oval shape callout in Bluebeam? In my industry, we often use oval callouts to identify equipment, but currently, only rectangle, circle, triangle, and hexagon options are available. It would be great to have an oval shape option or the ability to adjust the circle dimensions to create an oval.…

In particular, we’d like the report to include the ability to: Tag specific rooms or locations Attach a photo of each deficiency Provide a description of the deficiency…
Is there a way to apply multiple digital signatures to a document without having to Save after each signature?
After my last update… When I add a Dimension to a pdf the extension lines are way to long. Sometimes putting them off the edge of the page. I have: set and checked scale checked dim line and text size any ideas….
This is a simple question. When I've 'Checked Out' a document in my BB Studio Project and added mark-ups, does it automatically Save when I 'Check In'? Or should I click save first, and then Check In?
Occasionally, during a session a user will not see the status options needed to set the state. The occurrence is not tied to a specific user or session. This issue has persisted for years, and I am still searching for a solution - aside from additional markings or highlights in the session markups. Anyone else experiencing…
I was hoping to find a way to filter sessions by "My Status", so I can quickly see those I have marked as "reviewing" or "finished", but I do not see that as an option in any of the dropdowns that are visible to me. Does anyone know if this is possible? Thanks in advance!
Greetings, I have a question that I can't seem to find the answer. Hopefully I can get some help here. Is it possible to overlay and also compare two PDFs? When we only compare the files, we only see the cloud and sometimes it's not easy to tell what is the difference. If I can also overlay those PDFs, I can see the color…
What is the best way to track project issues? I have issues that are emailed to me by my contractor customers and need some way to flag it and remember to follow up on it. I am having too many emails fall through the cracks and are not resolved in a timely manner.
Hey everyone, first time post! So I'm a spec writer and am trying to convert pdfs into Word docs. Which is easy…except when Bluebeam creates the Word doc, all of the paragraph levels are assigned to the same Word styles. As an example, in the attached image all of the paragraphs are the same "List Paragraph" style in Word.…
