I have noticed when saving a file as PDF from Word the are sometime several bookmarks listed as "1". Bookmarks are created using Word headers, but there are never any headers named "1". Does anyone know why this happens and how to prevent it?
Is there a way to add together measurements between multiple pages? Say I markup a ton of items as MTL-2 over many pages; is there a way to add them all together? Like the legend below but for all pages with MTL-2
Just did the update this morning. Everything went well except I no longer have the Revu icon. It is just looks like a piece of paper with the right, top corner bent over. Is this the new icon or did something not load correctly?
I did not see this before but lately yes - when you click File/Email on any open file, the email window opening up will have the file attached but the actual file name will have [1] added to the name looking like ***[1].pdf while the subject line shows the original file name. How can I stop this so the file name does not…
I am needing to make comments/remarks on CAD-based file with a lot of layers and small symbols and when i try to select a group of my comments it grabs these - what appear to be random - cad-based linework that came with the original PDF. They have gray grips and i cannot edit those. I understand that I can turn the…
Previous to recent versions of revu, holding the control key while starting a measurement/markup or anything that would trigger object snap would temporarily disabled it. This is extremely useful when you generally want object snap on but not right at that second, usually because of a dense area where there are so many…
Is there currently an option to enable a new tab opening when clicking on a detail hyperlink? This would be great! Currently I just split the view and then click the link, but this seems more straightforward for new users.
I was tasked with creating custom symbols for my company and I' having some odd issues. After importing the toolboxes, some of the symbols are "missing" in the sense that they don't show up in the toolbox. If I hover over the location where it should be, all the pop-up info still shows. I can select the symbol and place it…
How do i change the icons when i select count measurement checked after completing visual search? it only has the default icons and not option to add from my toolbox.
Before BB Revue was reinstalled on my machine, I used to be able to do a command to super easily change the properties of the fill. Now I have to go into properties, or use the fill color icon on the Appearance toolbar. I have lost that command and don't know how to get it back.

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…
