When I am working with multiple pdf files, I have to extend one or more files to the second monitor. When a pdf is brought to the second monitor, the Bluebeam ribbon and menus will not go along with it to the second monitor and I will always have to select the tools from the original bluebeam window in the fist monitor. In…

Good Morning Has anyone successfully imported their take-off from Bluebeam via excel into Trimble Contract Master Estimation software and have you managed to link an item in that take off to your database item?
Please correct me if I'm posting in the wrong spot: I had slow 2D rendering on a Lenovo P15 Gen 1 on several versions up to 21.6, then 21.6.1 seemed to fix the issue. With 21.8, the issue has returned. The usual 2D render settings have no effect on the behavior (it's as if it's stuck on iterative draw). Paging through PDFs…
How do I compare worded documents? I believe my scale is off and it's highlighting the entire document but I'm not sure.
Hi, I would like to request assistance regarding an issue with a specific PDF file. The file was created using Foxit Editor, and I am currently using the latest licensed version of Bluebeam Revu. When I open the file in Bluebeam, all pages appear blank. However, the file displays correctly when opened in Foxit or Adobe…
This seem to be a new issue for me on V21.7. I can barely read the comment text within the Markup List. Any way I can change the display size?
Can someone please tell me why I suddenly can't access my tools or properties of tools in Bluebeam? I am trying to add my signature as I do every day but today all of a sudden, my saved tool set doesn't work. I can import a new signature .png to Bluebeam but it won't let me access the properties of the tool to change the…
Imagine placing a door symbol and Revu automatically attaching a mini BOQ for leaf, frame, hardware and labor, all rolling up into one smart cost object that updates as you copy or move it.
Im trying to adjust my polyline sketch to scale mark ups that I use for estimating and the only way I can get it to work is by dragging the control points. Is there a way to click the markup and edit the length via input. EX) Clicked line is 8'-10 1/2" I want to round to 9'-0" so I have to hold shift and drag the control…

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…
