Hi Bluebeam Community, I’m encountering a confusing issue with the measurement tools in Bluebeam and would like some advice or clarification. When I use the Calibrate tool on a drawing PDF, I set the scale using the distance between two grid lines (for example, Grid PG to Grid PH, which is annotated as 3,035mm). After…
Hello Community One of our customers has the problem that photos taken in portrait format are always inserted in landscape format in Bluebeam. When I insert the same photo, it is displayed correctly in portrait format in Bluebeam. However, this is only the case for him in Bluebeam, when he imports the same photo into Word,…
I just moved to Bluebeam a couple months ago and I am very impressed with the functions it offers. I am working on a job with multiple people and am curious if we place a file on the network can multiple people get in the doc at the same time with read/write ability? I am thinking "Studio Sessions" might be the path i need…
Hi Bluebeam Community, I wanted to share an issue we’re having in my team related to PDF printing from Excel when using Bluebeam Print to PDF alongside Microsoft Print to PDF. Here’s what happens: We have Bluebeam Print to PDF set as the default printer, and the scaling is set to 100%. We adjust the print areas in Excel…
Does anyone know hw to turn off this feature (brown help box) that lets you know the highlight is in use. toggling between different documents or screens, it moves every time you move documents. It is very distracting and moves your page.
In the past we were able to require fields to be filled out before an individual could save the form. Now, if I make a field required it only puts a red thick border around it. This allows individuals to skip a field and submit a form with missing information. It is driving me crazy. Someone please advise. Thank you! :)
We regularly need to search drawings and specifications for specific keywords to find out what a project requires but the current search process for Revu only allows one search string at a time. Would it be possible to have a multi-search / batch search feature that lets you enter a list of specific keywords with different…
We can already export markups to CSV but the process is clunky and it takes several steps to go from my PDF to Excel data that I want to manipulate or paste into another tool. Would it be possible to provide a shortcut to copy markups to clipboard in a CSV style format? A single button on the markup pane, to the right of…
It would be great if the snapshot tool could capture areas outside of the sheet itself. For example, when I’m posting how-to screenshots on this forum, I currently have to use a separate application (I use ShareX) to record the screen. Integrating this functionality would make the process much more efficient.
Hi Bluebeam Team and Community, I often use Dark Mode when reading long documents in Revu, as it’s much easier on my eyes. However, depending on the document content, I find myself frequently switching back and forth between Dark Mode and regular mode. Right now, I have to navigate through Revu > Preferences each time to…

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…
