Hello, I am trying to evaluate this product since I've heard the old BlueBeam for IOS app is being killed off. I downloaded it from the app store, opened it, and was able to log into it using my org. admin account for the desktop version. When I use the app, I only see two options "Studio Projects" and "Studio Sessions",…
How do I change uploaded PDF doc from pending so that I can work on it?
Hi everyone, I'm facing an issue regarding group administration in Bluebeam Project (not session), and I'm hoping someone here might have some insight. I find the group feature in the Permissions and Folder Permissions tabs to be incredibly useful for managing user access. However, I've run into a problem when multiple…
Heya team, I'm sure the answer is "not currently possible" but figured I'd ask anyway. In an ideal world Bluebeam would let you apply the document scale to the layout dimensions, so when you're changing the size of a markup or moving it to a particular position, it will be to the set scale, and not just the standard…
Hi Community, I have a large page count PDF overlay project comparing two drawing sets. The sets have jumbled the pages between them and I have to align pages to do the overlay. I don't want to do batch overlay as I need the layers to toggle, nor did that work anyway. My idea, is since I have to rearrange the pages to get…
I cannot access Bluebeam cloud on the iPad through any browser (tried edge and chrome). Can only use the app. I created a session and placed my PDF site plan in it. I also then placed all the all the mark-ups I had in my tool set that I want to use in the PDF. I was hoping to be able to copy, past, and edit them where I…
Hi all We are relatively new to Bluebeam but use it every day in our work, it's a great tool that has helped us immensely since we started using it. However, we recently updated to the latest version and since then we are having a bit of trouble, we have contacted technical support and they have given us a couple of…
Hi Team, Can properties like those available to edit bookmarks please be added to layers? For example, Bold, Italic and Highlight.
Hi all, I am looking into automating PDF overlays to compare architectural changes. Since there are more than 100 drawings, I am trying to create a hook that triggers when files are updated in the folder, automatically overlaying the PDFs and saving the output to a specified destination.
Is there a way to select all items on all pages after mark-up? I need to have all items appear, from all sheets in a single legend. Common mark-ups will all tally together, but if there is a stray item on a single page, it gets left behind.

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…
