Good Day Bugs-We recently changed from Adobe to BB. I needed to reduce a large size pdf. It seemed easy to do, and was happy to see I could do multiple files at once. However, the files are still too large to email. 15-30mb. I have tried reducing again, moved the quality slider in the output options box and it still only…
A question for the ages in the AEC industry, regarding the abbreviation for UNLESS NOTED OTHERWISE or UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED… Do you belong to team UNO, or team UON?
Did you know that double-clicking a Bluebeam Revu Profile (.bpx file) automatically opens Revu and imports the profile for you? This is the quickest and easiest way to have a User import a Profile. It is a very low impact for our non-technical friends and co-workers. 😅 It is much better than explaining how to click the…

It would be pretty dope if we could import a block library of symbols we use in CAD as stamps or markup tools in Revu rather than having to recreate each one or use snapshot. Also, if we could integrate linetypes instead of creating them from scratch, that would be amazing. 🙏 Sincerely, a CAD Manager who deploys and trains…

When working with layers in Bluebeam, our estimating team typically uses the same template across all projects — about 15 main layers, each with multiple child layers. So far, we haven’t found a reliable way to transfer this full layer structure from one project to the next. We’ve tried saving the layers to a template file…
I created separate sets for my Arch, Struc, Civil, etc. drawings. It helps to have 2-3 open at once. They will open as a tab a the top of the window but only 1 Set is available at a time in the Sets window. Can I have more then one Set open and have is switch as I switch through the main window tabs?
Hi all, We're trying to automate the creation of toolchest for all of our clients and we're in the process of generating them from Autocad to the .btx format. Was wondering if there's any documentation out there for the btx file format ?
With no intentional change of software I have run into a situation that causes Revu v21.7 to be unusable for modifying PDF files. It only functions as a viewer. V21.7 has been working without issue until now. Multiple problems occur: All markup tools are grayed out and non-functional. The BB logo and the text "Sign In"…

The first job is an airport distribution facility and all the PDF's plans are protected. All markup on the right is greyed out and I cannot paste out count symbols on devices to get…

Our firm has implemented Bluebeam and we have found many benefits. One issue that we have run into is building a regulatory report including dozens of attachments combined into a single PDF results in our clients unable to E-sign in Adobe and generating error codes regarding embedded fonts and unrecognized content.

Recently my team has been encountering instances where Bluebeam seems to be adding multiple statuses, seemingly on it's own, to markups. It does it to multiple markups at a time too and takes a lot of real estate on the markup list. We're still actively working on identifying potential causes for this, as I personally have…
We need a report that identifies the users and the system names from which the Bluebeam application is being accessed. Specifically, we want to know who is logging in from which machines. This report is currently not available to the 'Org Admin' in your portal
