Since I updated to version 2.6.1 I cannot see any pdf pages now. Document opens and title shows in tab, but cannot see any pages - anyone else have this problem?
Hey guys, Lately when I've been marking up a pdf using the typewriter tool, it randomly stops working and clicking on the typewriter button doesn't do anything. When it does stop working, I'm unable to edit the properties of any other type of markup as well, including markups on a different PDF. The only way I've been able…
A coworker just asked how to go full-screen on a PDF, and I showed him the "full screen and Presentation options. One issue that came up was that the shortcut for Presentation (ctrl+Enter) didn't work. Any ideas why?
Hi folks, This question came in from a sales associate. Has anyone found a way for Bluebeam v 21 to sign the user when the desktop app is closed? It's not a native capability according to Bluebeam Support website but it kind of sounds like a script can be created for this. Thank you for looking. Vinnie
My expectation is that having the ability to create a legend within a Bluebeam session would be very useful for the project. I hope the Bluebeam R&D team considers including this feature in a future update
Could someone guide me on how to initiate and complete a Secondary Steel (For an Example: Bent Plate, Angles, CMU Wall Supports, Sill Angle….) project using Bluebeam? A video tutorial would be preferable for better understanding.
Hello, I've read a few forums on here with the same issue. I'm using an M3 MacBook pro with parallels and windows 11 installed. When I open Revu 21 the sign in screen is blank but I some of the buttons work, seems like they are just invisible. I was able to sign in by guessing where the text box is and the sign in button,…
One of my co-workers cannot get the sign in button to work at all, flashes for a second then goes back to "Sign in". Tried switching / resetting profiles, restarting. Really trying to avoid re-install.
Good Day Bugs-We recently changed from Adobe to BB. I needed to reduce a large size pdf. It seemed easy to do, and was happy to see I could do multiple files at once. However, the files are still too large to email. 15-30mb. I have tried reducing again, moved the quality slider in the output options box and it still only…
Hi everyone, It's my first time posting and I just started using the markup list for reporting, but I'm running into issues in Revu 21.6. 1)Exporting Non-Comment Text: A Markup Summary report includes text from the drawing that is not a comment. I presumed this happens because the text is editable? The goal is to filter…

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…
