I have a large document that is the Exhibits to a contract. In updating the file, replacing pages that have been modified to keep the document current, the page numbering is now off. The first 144 pages of the document are in sequence, but at page 145, the number outside the parenthesis resets to 1. Is there a way to get…
I've removed custom stamps from the Stamps folder where they were kept, however they are still accessible to attach to a PDF. Is Bluebeam storing a copy someone within the program? This pertains to electronic copies of professional seals that belong to a partner that is retiring so we can't have them accessible to anyone…
With PDF mock-up changes in collaboration, it is certain that original drawings to become obsolete, how to handle such a situation? Does BB have any established/recommended manual and automated approach to two-way syncup? I am open to understanding if such sync-up issues are solved even privately (i.e may not be a public…
I do understand Open standards of PDFs and lighter sizes of PDFs etc compared to drawing formats. However, can any practitioners list all the advantages they saw compared to the original drawing format in collaboration with PDFs?
Is there any official marketplace (just like Google Play for Android apps etc) that BB supports certified plugin(s)/extensions development for rest of the world to buy and sell?
Hello, We want to make an internal webpage that tracks all the Bluebeam review sessions within our group. It seems that the Bluebeam Studio API would be the solution. We couldn't find the portal to Register Apps. Please help.

Two common hotkey combinations I use are: After Reviewing Submittals Ctrl + Shift + M + Enter [Flatten Markup] ➡ Ctrl + S [Save] OCR a Drawing Set Alt + O + Enter I have been using the…

Dear Folks, I need to Overlay the Combined PDF’s. I had 17 pages Combined updated design drawings PDF. Old Revision had Combined 122 Pages. Option 1: - Does the Blue Beam Automatically Overlay the 17 pages (Based on Exact Design Drawings) from that 122 old revision? Option 2: - Or I will Manually separate that 17 pages…
Hi all, I am putting together a fillable form that includes multiple drop downs to use as status reports. They will all contain the same 3 items (on track, potential risks/delays and roadblocks. My goal is to assign a different color to each item. For example, if "on track" is selected, that field turns green. If…

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!).

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 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…
