Often when I work, I need two independent screens up to reference a previously reviewed document or bring pages from one doc to another, and I am really handicapped not having two functional, i.e., fully tool laden windows to work with. This floating window off to the side with nothing but tabs at the top is virtually…
Instead of defaulting to the last folder where a Markup List file was exported to, can we have the option of defaulting to the folder in which the pdf file that you are using is saved. If I am moving between pdf's which are saved in different folders it is too easy to end up saving the output file in the wrong place.
As the title suggest, it would be nice and almost necessary to include leaders in the default ARC tool rather than having to create a polyline, convert to arc, drag grips, etc, to simulate this.
Hi, We are new to BB and just starting to setup our templates, library etc. I have seen comments on using BB for punchlists and viewed on youtube but does BB have a learning page on how to set these up properly? We do large multi storey hotel projects and ideally want a live punchlist of sorts. Thanks for your help
The desktop version of bluebeam already allows for non-pdf file types to be checked in and out of Bluebeam Studio Folders (for example, and excel spreadsheet). Offering the same feature for the iPad App would allow Superintendents on the field to utilize excel spreadsheets to track equipment rentals and other useful…
I'm having trouble getting batch link to work on my plan sets because it won't recognize a lot of the text. I've run OCR and this hasn't helped at all. Any tricks to get this to run properly?
Current Issue: In Bluebeam Revu, it is currently not possible to select multiple control points (nodes) of a single area markup (such as a polygon, area, or volume) at the same time for batch editing or deletion. For large or complex areas with many control points, manually deleting or adjusting individual nodes is…
I would like to request an option to select which windows or split views to synchronize. Currently, when you have multiple split views and detached pages, all of them synchronize together. In some cases, you may want to view only a couple of windows synchronously while keeping one window or view as a full page.
When a measurement is in "Properties" mode, it doesn't have any data in the "Comments" column. We want to either remove the column or move it after the "Label" column. We did some research, and it seems like this Comments column can't be modified or removed.
Good afternoon! I have found myself reading more and more posts that have images attached for explanation or clarity, sometimes in the comments the images are showing on the page and sometimes I have to click a link to open. I believe snips post as images and attachments post as links, but I am not 100% sure on that yet.…

Hi all, We recently experienced a technical issue that caused users to have trouble accessing Bluebeam.com domains. The problem has been fixed, but it may take a little while for the fix to fully take effect everywhere due to how internet systems store temporary information. Thank you for your patience as everything…
I have been using Revu to build quantity take-offs for construction estimates, I’m trying to clean up the organization and structure of the markups. I typically sort the markups by the subject, but I need to be able to re-sort the line items before I export the take-off. I can’t manually move items on the markup list up or…
Hi Bluebeam Community, I recently purchased two vacant residential lots in El Sereno/South Pasadena area to build at least two small temporary homes for families displaced by recent wildfires. This project will provide safe, dignified housing while survivors rebuild their lives—but I need your help to make it happen! How…
Has anyone experienced this issue after updating to version 21.6? It doesn’t happen every time, but occasionally I get a popup that prevents Bluebeam from opening. When this occurs, I’m unable to launch the application at all. Just wondering if anyone else has run into this and found a solution.
Resolved: Delete existing version and install old version. Question is in the title. I use the tool chest for my job, I make/edit/modify maybe 50-100 markups a day and whatever was done to the tool chest has ruined its functionality. A few examples: Double click to edit name is now extremely inconsistent. The markups are…
There should be a way to add layers in a pdf on blue beam studio to have to set them all up sheet by sheet then upload them is very time consuming each time a new sheet is added or if someone else adds sheet
I have recently been upgraded to Revu 21 and I remember my tools having custom properties applied for certain tools. Like attaching cost codes to specific tool chest items. I am not seeing the custom fields in the properties window now. Where did it move to?
I've run an overlay on an 88-page project with lots of changes. When trying to print a physical copy, it gets hung up. Even printing in batches is slow because several pages lead to virtual freezing. Are there any tips on how to improve/speed up the printing process? I've flattened and reduced file size, but that has had…
Since it looks like there is no way to unflatten a form field I am wondering if there is a way to lock one. So far I am not able to get it to work. Thanks
I have the Revu Complete plan. Revu is largest user of memory on my system. Right now I have 4 plans open and my memory usage is at 2,486.6 MB I seem to hover around 2,000 MB. Could there be a setting I need to change which will reduce this usage? I have some lagging in other programs. I had attemped to use Studio once to…
