log in I am really tired of having to log into Bluebeam every time I open it. Please figure out another way. This is the only application on our PCs that require this.
Just started happening after I had to do a preferences reset. Each time I open a existing pdf file on my companies server, I get the error that the file is locked by another user. I know that it is not, so I click retry, and it opens just fine. Happens again even after closing the file and then attempting to open it again.…
Is it possible to remove restrictions on a PDF file in Bluebeam? I frequently download PDF files from many manufacturers and they often put security restrictions on them which is difficult to share with other trades/collaborators. I've tried using online PDF tools but they only let you remove security on a couple files at…
I have some drawings where the Pan Tool (hand icon) works like this - 1)Left mouse button held, hand grabs whole drawing and moves it around. Mouse scroll wheel zooms in and out. I have other drawings where it works like this- 2) Left mouse button held, hand grabs whole drawing and moves it around (same). Mouse scroll…
Hi everyone – I’m new here and excited to learn from this group. I work with a lot of teams in construction and government who are moving toward tighter IT security policies — especially removing local admin rights for end users. One thing I’ve noticed is that Bluebeam (and sometimes other tools) can get tricky in that…
Its noow been three days that I cannot get my users renewed on bluebeam. My account will not let me login it gives me a strange error And it goes no where. I have a ticket open now three days with Bluebeam support and no answers . Does anyone have any suggestions. This is crazy and the worst support I have seen
So! While creating markups, and turning on "Reuse Markup Tool" how do I finish the text input without starting the new command? Here's what I'm trying to do <press Q for callout w/leader> <click for arrow location> <click for text box location> <enter text> <**hotkey to complete text input**> <click for new arrow> Right…
Hello, I'm new to Bluebeam software and don't use it regularly, so this might be common knowledge. If we add digital signatures to a document in Bluebeam and the document gets updated over time, is there a way to track or link the different versions for future reference? Thank you.
With a PDF file that has a sensitivity label (opened in Revue), is the Microsoft sensitivity label visible in Bluebeam Revue?
when they think “our current way works fine”?

Hi all, my name is Aily, and I'm the Manager of Customer Education at Bluebeam - nice to meet you! I want to learn how you prefer to train, onboard, or up-skill your internal employees on everything Bluebeam, so I can make sure we're allocating the right resources to the right kinds of training (aka help me help you!). If…
I just installed version 21.4 this morning on a second work machine, and encountered the common problem of Print to Bluebeam being broken during install. I resolved the problem using the following steps (Windows 11, 64 bit). I have admin privileges, so make sure you can make such changes before starting. I can't guarantee…
Please add folders within sessions for document organization. This will make navigating to the documents within a session cleaner and easier as documents within a session can add up and be cumbersome to have to search through to find what the user is trying to open. This feature would be greatly appreciated by all. Thank…
While I wait for the influx of new members from the PHX/NorCal bug webinar I thought I'd ask about your experience with making custom hatches and line styles in Bluebeam (the topic of the webinar). There were some great examples of custom hatches and lines that made a lot of sense for those users. One was a civil office…
If you've ever had to place a symbol on a drawing more than three times, you've probably wondered, "I wish I didn't have to keep clicking on the symbol every time I want to place it." I have great news for you 😀 The Reuse Tools option keeps that tool selected for placing as many instances of a symbol as you need! There are…
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…
I would like another option for locking that allows for a shapes dimensions to be locked, but still be able to move the shape / sketch around. An example of this would be a toggle for "dimension lock" where I could trace the outline of a building and rotate / move it around a site or property without accidentally changing…
I know that Bluebeam makes it difficult to select a markup that is under another markup—try selecting a markup four levels deep! BUT! I ran a demo today, and a 💡 went off in my head. Can I make a Keyboard Shortcut from the R21.2 Hide selected markup feature and use it to quickly hide obscuring markups to get to the markup…
Would it be possible to create an additional option under "Manage Toolsets" to edit the columns in the Tool Chest? Such as renaming or disabling which ones are not used. And that the columns are also extended as soon as they are extended to the right and do not become narrower again
When moving a PDF file from the main BlueBeam application to another window (or second monitor), it creates a new Bluebeam tab. I would like to see it create a new separate application on my computer that I can pull up and down, as needed. Currently, if I click away on Bluebeam (with multiple tabs open on multiple…
