This past weekend I was working with some fillable PDFs from the Department of the Army (United States). Bluebeam was able to open the PDFs just fine, but signing them caused Revu to crash on me and it would say something about the type of file being unsupported. I ended up just downloading Adobe to sign those specific…
Hi all I've been asked by a client to recommend software to store all of the drawings in an organised manner, ideally with an interface that links to the General Arrangement Drawings [e.g. click on a room and all the drawings are listed]. What they are after is a simplistic BIM. Is this something Studio could do ?
I'm experienced in BB but new to the Forms Panel. I just finished creating a two page fillable form. The form field names match the column headings in an Excel Spreadsheet. It's a two page form with 30 Excel records. I had assumed it would be easy to link them up so Revu could create a 60 page document (or 30 documents of…
Is there a way I can select specific text from inside a markup someone else placed on a Revu Session? I know if it's text on my document I can select it via (shift+t) select text. I am also aware you can copy all text from a markup by right clicking it in the markups list. However, the markups I need to copy text from have…
Hello, I submit a request about the printing of drawings, measurements and markups that are in specific layers. I draw measurements in buildings to demolish or to construct, on an architect et engineer drawing; I design one layer for unique elements, one layer for elements on the ground, one layer for vertical elements on…
How do I create a markup shortcut that I created?
I know this is a little lengthy, but I tried to make it totally clear and understandable. I hope I succeeded. When you open "Manage Columns" there are two tabs, "Display Order" & "Custom Columns". Once I import my custom columns, I want to setup the order in the "Display Order" tab. This procedure sets the order the…
How do I default certain colors and degrees of shading? For example, if I need a text box it defaults to red at 100% also the text color. When I need a text box, I need it yellow at 40% and the text black.
I am not very familiar with the Excel automation and scripts, but I am hoping someone on here has the knowledge of both Excel and Bluebeam to help me. Has anyone setup Excel scripts to help link multiple data points from a Bluebeam file at once? If there is a project that needs hundreds of quantity links I think an Excel…
I'm creating a smart PDF from an existing PDF and have a series of textboxes that will have the exact same properties. When I finish formatting the first textbox and copy and paste. The only properties that are copied to the next textbox are the font and layout, but not the Format properties. I've been stuck with copying…

Now is a good time to "Revu" your progress on 2025 Bluebeam goals. Whether it be workflow review, tool improvements, or simply existing markup edits to align with the latest company standards we all could use a little reminder to look back and ahead in 2025! Feeling energized dialing back to the beginning of Q1 when I…
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.…
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…
My issue is a question/idea but is it currently possible to save/reuse selected Page Regions made when creating new Thumbnail Page Labels or in Bookmarks. We use the Page Labels/Bookmarks 'Page Region' feature to extract out drawing title block information, but I have to redo the same region selections for each new package…
One part question one part idea for y'all today. My office uses studio session extensively to redline and coordinate with several different consultant teams at once. A PM will have to manage 2-7 Bluebeam sessions at once, one per project site. Our field reps will be in and out of 20-40 sessions per week. The firm standard…
I have a client that would like to use the functions and features found in the Prime Portal. Namely reactivating a finished Session. Is this in the org. admin. portal? If so how is it accessed? Thank you Vinnie Stamato
It would be a great help for me if locked objects were marked when clicked on, for example with a padlock, as it does in other programs.
Do you know of an integration between Bluebeam and Procore that allows Bluebeam to mark up plans and sync to Procore? Thank you Vinnie Seattle WA
How do I save a 3d model tree with just the columns that I choose? I have tried saving as a new view and then saving the pdf but when I open the pdf again the 3d model tree has reset to its defaults. I would like to send the pdf out to my team and clients so that they are able to just open without the need to set anything…
I have been trying to create a link between my Bluebeam markups and a corresponding Excel Document/Table. I was curious if there is a way or a JavaScript Code that would allow me to export my markups list and then Bluebeam will update that export when I save it after I have made changes to it. I have used power query in…
