this change from Bluebeam for iPad to Bluebeam cloud just made the program useless. When we are in the field, attaching a photo to a markup was 80% of the point, so when exporting a summary, the photo would be with the callout. How is this most-used feature gone? I am just now finding this out at 1am and have to travel in…
I have installed Bluebeam on a new laptop. Trying to read pdf files is not happening. Thumbnails show up but main window is either gibberish or blank. Have shutdown and then restarted and deinstalled and reinstalled to no effect. Repeated attempts to access Bluebeam result in laptop freezing and need to hard shutdown to…
Hi all, I have many tools showing as disabled & can't do my take offs. This includeds my tools in my tool chests. Any suggestions before I cry?
The rectangle function will allow a colored fill to be used, as will the ellipse function. Is there a way to "fill" an area that is defined by a polyline?
I've created a dynamic fill of an area on a PDF, and am unable to delete it; even using the Dynamic Fill option to "Clear All", "Clear Fill". How can I delete/erase this dynamic fill?
When I add digital signatures, the window doesn't close after I'm done. It doesn't freeze. I cannot change locations on the document. It will stay open and let me repeat the exact process but never closes. I have to go to Task Manager and close Revu. Any thoughts? Thanks,
I recently upgraded my bluebeam from Core to complete. now my interface is on view mode, i have tried to comeback to markup mode but can not fine the markup mode please i need assistance.
After the recent update, my search function does not work any more. I have tried my files including the ones I have successfully searched words in before the update. Is this a bug? How can it be fixed?
Just wondering what everyone is using in the field other than an IPad? Any Galaxy Tab, etc. users out there? If so, have you got any feedback?
I have plotted two drawings from AutoCAD to PDF (each a single page). When I open them separately in Bluebeam, their layers show up as expected. When I insert the second page into the same PDF as the first page, the layers are no longer showing for the second page. How do I get the layers to come along with the PDF when 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 should be able to post a link here and have it take you to a Bluebeam session and a specific file within it. http:// (session URL) / file I should be able to link to a markup even as well. Why isn't this in Bluebeam yet? It's so frustrating that we (in multiple workplaces I've been at) have to say "hey folks we posted…
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 have used BlueBeam Revu to create piping isometric drawings. However, this process takes a very long time and is painstaking because currently Revu only allows you to snap to 45° or 90°. If there was an option to turn on snapping to 15° increments, it would allow for much cleaner and faster creation/marking up of piping…
