Option to open documents as read-only
We've been having this issue, since forever, of someone opening a document to reference it for work they're doing but they're not the document owner (they didn't create it nor are they responsible for updating it), and it locks out the person updating/replacing the pdf preventing them from making changes or stamping it.…

Out of licenses notice
it would be nice for Bluebeam Org Admin portal to send notices when low/out of licenses. We ended up running out and it took a day to resolve so a user was unable to fully do their job. An email would be nice to know when we are low.

Stop Layers Resetting After Using Undo
If I'm working on a drawing and have various layers turned off to make things easier, if I make a mistake when completing my markups then use UNDO (ctrl + z) the mistake is undone but all my hidden layers also become visible. Revu needs to be updated to stop the resetting of layers upon UNDO being used.

Feature Request: Overlay/Compare Drawings with Different Scales
Hi Bluebeam Team and Community, I’d like to suggest a feature enhancement for Bluebeam Revu regarding the Compare and Overlay functionalities. Currently, Bluebeam does not support overlaying or comparing drawings that are at different scales (for example, 1:100 vs 1:99). This limitation can be challenging when working with…

Lock icon represents "Checked Out" instead of "Available for checkout"
Existing Lock symbol meaning "Available for checkout" is misleading. Need to change symbols & add color. The red icon to mean "locked or checked out". The green icon to mean "unlocked available".

Don't require project-by-project invitation to join session.
We have many projects moving through our office simultaneously. Many people are involved in many projects, and their involvement might vary from being designer or drafter, to just being a reviewer. A regular point of pain is where each project needs to authorise access to each person to a session. It would be useful if a…

Quantity Link - Source File select
My suggestion is to allow quantity link fields to be directed to one of the source files only, not all, as another option in the drop down like below… OR, (even better) to be able to dynamically change these source files by putting the relevant filepath in a field, i.e. column A has the filepaths, and the workbook can…

Please include a "Sort Pages by Page Label" function
A simple "sort" function when merging 2 pdf's with hundreds of pages each would help. The way of doing it now by extracting pages, and then combining them becomes tedious and time consuming.

Tools that support Georeferenced PDFs
Georeferenced PDFs are not a new thing, but it was surprising to me that these files do not have supporting tools in Bluebeam. The company I work for has been evaluating the benefits of switching our standard PDF editor/viewer from Adobe to Bluebeam, and this functional gap was a downside brought up by one of my peers. A…

automatically apply "send to back" to superseded labels?
It would be helplful if superseded labels automatically had "send to back" applied as part of batch slipsheeting. My job is preparing documents for sessions. Some of our users said they can't easily select markups if they're fully behind a stamp, so I've started doing "send to back" manually. I think it would make sense to…

Ctrl-E Keyboard Shortcut
Currently the "Ctrl-E" shortcut opens an email window with the active .pdf attached and the subject line matches the filename of the .pdf. This is my most used BlueBeam shortcut. Problem is Microsoft is pushing "New Outlook" on users and I'm begrudgingly becoming used to it (it's actually great for a lot of things BTW).…

Blueprints
It would be great that when you open up a set of plans; Bluebeam automatically scans and names each page likes other programs do instead of the user just seeing 1, 2, 3 or having the user name each one which can be exhausting given there are many pages.

Enhancement Suggestions for Space Tools in Bluebeam
Hi Bluebeam Community and Product Team, I’d like to share some feedback and suggestions regarding the Space Tools in Bluebeam, hoping to see further enhancements in future releases. Currently, Spaces can be created manually or imported from a Revit BIM Model, which is a great start. However, the current functionality is…

Suggestions for Enhancing Measurement Tools in Bluebeam – Insights from AutoCAD & Revit User
Hi Bluebeam Community, I’m an experienced AutoCAD and Revit user with over 10 years in the industry, and I’ve been using Bluebeam for the past 3 years. While Bluebeam has become an essential part of my workflow, I believe there are opportunities to further enhance its measurement tools by drawing inspiration from…

Capture Photos from iPad Camera and attach to Callout or other Markups
In Bluebeam Revu for iPad (which is slated to end soon) I would insert a markup comment (text) and then "attach" a captured photo (or image from a file). This has become very useful during construction site observations / punch walks. Once back in the office after adding several comments with attached photos, I would use…
