I recently synced my work OneDrive account with Bluebeam Cloud and I'm trying to figure out the benefits or the reasons for doing so. I'm new to using the Cloud option but does it makes sense to store documents and have OneDrive access all under one roof? I just realized that there is unlimited document storage on the…
The total will not work when it is a Perimeter and not a Polylength. Selected polylength but it records like a perimeter. Sometimes it shows up as polylenght and other times as perimeter. Is there something I'm missing
Hi all! I'm searching for a way to password protect a set of markups on a pdf without disabling the ability for other users to add new markups without the password. A working example would be one user, a drawing checker in this case, would go through the pdf creating markups. When they're complete, they lock the file so…
Our work laptops were running two different versions of Bluebeam, and in both of those versions, we were unable to use the Microsoft Office add-ins. We keep hearing that there is a problem with Bluebeam, and I am curious whether anyone else is having the same problem. I'm interested in learning if the problem is a…
I just DLd BB and have a Mac computer- it seems as if I can only use BB cloud. Is the functionality different while using cloud opposed to downloading it straight to my desktop (which I can't do)?
Currently, the final output consists of only the intersection of matched pages between specified current and revised files. Please let me know if it's possible to include pages that did not match from the specified revised file in the output PDF.
When I go to Tools → Stamp and select a stamp, it displays the full file name in the dropdown, regardless of the title I set under the Properties of the stamp. This is a bit inconvenient, as I would prefer to see the stamp's title. The dropdown under File → New PDF from Template shows the title from the properties, which…
Can our .BTX tools be used in the Bluebeam Cloud for iOS? If yes, please let me know how. If not, will I be able to before the iPad app is deprecated at year end? Thanks, Dustin
For some reason my search tool doesn't work on certain pdfs and dont know why this is. Is there a easy fix for this?
I was wondering if anyone knows how to create a digitally signed signature (instead of using conventional digital signature offered)? I'd like to create a permanent image of my own signature on paper, store it and certify it if possible. Any suggestions are appreciated.

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…
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 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…
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…
