Hello, I'm having trouble importing data from Excel into my PDF. My objective is to take one row of data at a time from the Excel sheet, use it to populate the text boxes in Bluebeam, print the PDF, and then repeat this process automatically for each subsequent row. Do I need to create an FDF (Forms Data Format) file to…
I'm an electrical contractor and I am working with a general contractor who manages their projects on studio. I have a core subscription to bluebeam cloud. How do I get the studio project to open in the bluebeam android app. I don't need to make any changes(I'm not authorized to do that) just need to be able to view and…
Somehow I lost the First Page button on my Nav bar. How do I get it back? I know there are other ways to get to the first page, but I miss it.
I have not used projects for some time and have just discovered it has gone replaced with studio how can i recover my "old" projects
I make a lot of PDF forms and BB's feature to "automatically create form fields" is time saving, so long as I want it to Justify Left all form fields and set the text to Helvetica Font Size 9. I find I want the majority of my forms to be AUTO font size and I want them CENTERED. I can't seem to sort out how to edit my BB's…

Is anyone aware of a setting that will allow me to navigate between cells in the markups list with the directional arrows, tab key, or enter/return button on the keyboard similar to inputting data in excel? We sometimes use the Markups list to collect additional data from drawings and it can be slightly laborious when…
I'm a building Inspector and at times for large plans I like to connect or align several pages so I can see the entire layout of MEP is there a way to do this in BB directly?
My team regularly receives markups from clients that come in two files, one a PDF with a callout such as 'C-001' and then an Excel sheet that will list 'C-001' with test in the adjoining column. Now this is just a frustration on our end and something the clients will not budge on. I am curious if there is a way to bring…
I have a .bex file (aka Bluebeam Sets) that I had been able to print the latest revisions just fine… until recently. Now, when anyone on the team goes to print the latest revisions, the Print diolog seems to list all the pages for each combined PDF, and only print the first chunk of pages. (The example below shows eight…

Hi, is there a way to add an oval shape callout in Bluebeam? In my industry, we often use oval callouts to identify equipment, but currently, only rectangle, circle, triangle, and hexagon options are available. It would be great to have an oval shape option or the ability to adjust the circle dimensions to create an oval.…
My issue is a question/idea but is it currently possible to save/reuse selected Page Regions made when creating new Thumbnail Page Labels or in Bookmarks. We use the Page Labels/Bookmarks 'Page Region' feature to extract out drawing title block information, but I have to redo the same region selections for each new package…
One part question one part idea for y'all today. My office uses studio session extensively to redline and coordinate with several different consultant teams at once. A PM will have to manage 2-7 Bluebeam sessions at once, one per project site. Our field reps will be in and out of 20-40 sessions per week. The firm standard…
I have a client that would like to use the functions and features found in the Prime Portal. Namely reactivating a finished Session. Is this in the org. admin. portal? If so how is it accessed? Thank you Vinnie Stamato
It would be a great help for me if locked objects were marked when clicked on, for example with a padlock, as it does in other programs.
Do you know of an integration between Bluebeam and Procore that allows Bluebeam to mark up plans and sync to Procore? Thank you Vinnie Seattle WA
Occasionally, during a session a user will not see the status options needed to set the state. The occurrence is not tied to a specific user or session. This issue has persisted for years, and I am still searching for a solution - aside from additional markings or highlights in the session markups. Anyone else experiencing…
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.
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)?
I have been trying to create a link between my Bluebeam markups and a corresponding Excel Document/Table. I was curious if there is a way or a JavaScript Code that would allow me to export my markups list and then Bluebeam will update that export when I save it after I have made changes to it. I have used power query in…
