Hi, I'm a new user and want to edit some text on an existing PDF file. Can somebody please help me on how can this be done. I can use text box to add content, but not edit the original content.
New to bluebeam, best way to locate stamp in a pre-determined location on a sheet?
Hello, I can't get Bluebeam review to work with handwriting to text while using it with my XpPen artist Pro 13.3. I enable the Pencil Entry (Entré de Crayon, I'am using the french version) and I cant make a single A to make it appear in text… Thanks for reading.
Suddenly, my space bar doesn't work with lower case text; just a continuous string of words. Any suggestions?
I'm working with a new firm, and they have clients who might (based on comments from other posts) not want us to use Bluebeam Studio Sessions. I'm assuming these objections that people have experienced are based on some security protocols their clients have. My question is, what are those objections? What do we need to ask…
I am trying to import the data through .xml/.bax into bluebeam to automatically create markups (such as area measurement). The original data is in excel having room names, areas, and so on. But it was not successful. does anyone know how to do it/. or will it be a new feature from Bluebeam
Hi All, I am a site super who uses BB mainly for document management. As such I created a Set(.bex) to combine the different divisions of my project for easy access. I don't change anything on any of the documents but each time I close down BB a window pops up asking if I want to save the changes made to my Set(.bex) file.…
Can I change blend mode - use transparency, and color with overlay layers? I am not able to manipulate. I want one layer bright and other reduced opacity.
Hi all, I am posting to check if there has been any changes with support for fully independent windows when dragging tabs out. When I drag a tab away from the main window, the new window does not have the full toolbar, and minimizing one window causes both to minimize. I know I can open a new instance from the taskbar, but…
When I add new drawings to my Set the old, superceeded pages are not being crossed out. It appears that the new pages are assigned the correct revision number and all the sheet names and numbers are the same but they are being treated as all current revisions. I am new to Sets and have yet to make the feature work. I…

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…
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…
On the Bluebeam website, under "Resources" > "Need an older version of Revu?" there is only v20 and older. This needs new options, like v21.6. Currently the need for this is high, because v21.7 has a highly annoying "new feature" while drawing polylines, areas and contour and area measurement. Something goes visually wrong…
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…
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
