Hi, I have a 250MB PDF that I am trying to reduce. When I run the "reduce file size" command in Revu, it gets no further than "Analyzing File…" before the program becomes unstable and I have to end the task. Any suggestions? Thanks.
Hello, I am really sorry if my English is approximate. Indeed I use a translator, my mother tongue being French. I tried searching, but very difficult without knowing the language. When you create a new object, from the first letters entered, a drop-down list of all the objects already encoded is proposed. How to delete…
I hope we could rearrange the columns in detail mode like how we are able to do so in the markups list.
I am a struggling new user for Bluebeam. I did have a vertical scrollbar a couple of days ago, but now it is gone. It shows that it is enabled in the preferences, but I don't see it. I tried ticking the On Left box, but that didn't seem to do anything. The enable boxes for Horizontal and Vertical are grayed out on the…
Hello, we're working on adding custom tools with our own labeling for use in Revu. Count measurements have been very easy to integrate, but is it possible to add the Polylength tool with custom labels for the columns to the Tool Chest? When I attempt to add them like the count measurements, it "bakes in" whatever I draw…
Recently, I added a file to a session while offline and started making comments in it. Unknown to me, someone added the same file with the same file name to the session while I was offline. When I went back online, there was an error message that said it was not possible to have two files with the same name in a session…
When I split a docoment by top level bookmarks, how do I keep the bookmarks on the new documents I've created? I am able to split like I want to, but the bookmarks are missing in the newly created documents.
I know we can ask users to open the .btx file. But is it possible to deploy the .btx file automatically or copy it to a folder? Thanks.
Hello, I have a few foremen that are telling me that they cannot find their template in BB so they can do pick offs using their iPads. Has anyone else come into this problem? We have a company shared Dropbox folder that has all the BB toolsets listed. I'm new to this application and can use any and all help. Thank you
I have been tasked to create a PDF order form where a user would be able to select a geometric shape for a construction form. My ideal situation would be a dropdown form where different shapes are selectable and upon selection, a drawing of that shape would appear on the page with additional drop down options regarding…

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…
