handling of Viewports removal in Bluebeam Revu
Checking the box [Do not show this message again] results in Bluebeam Revu 'changing' files even though the user only intended to view the contents and has not made an actual edit. A prompt to save/not save then appears when the user closes the file. Would it be possible to have Revu remove the 'Untitled' viewports only…
Highlight Text by Outline
The Select Text tool allows you to use Ctrl+Click to drag a rectangle for selecting text. Is it possible to achieve this with the Highlighter tool? Or can we apply a highlight to the selected text? I also note we can right click and apply highlight, however this will only apply the default and not the custom tool:
Search for multiple keywords with one search
I want to search multiple keywords without doing multiple single word searches. Like if I am trying to find relevant electrical data in other trade documents, so I have to search "electric" "power" "light" "luminaire" "current" "circuit". Adding Boolean search options would be a welcome feature in document searching, as it…
Rounded Rectangles
I use this software for quick sketches to send to clients frequently and wish more than anything that there was an option for rounded rectangles! It would be super useful for diagramming.
Option to disable dimming markups when filtered out
I don't see that there is an option to disable the automatic dimming of markups when filtering the Markups List. This creates challenges in workflows where supporting sketches are drawn to provide visual context for comments but are not meant to appear as actionable items in the Markups List. Currently, when filtering the…
Batch Link 2.0
I use batch link quite a lot on multipage PDF:s. As the page labels are the same between these multipage PDF:s I have to process them one by one. It's also quite common that they on occasion refer to specific documents om some pages. Therefore I'd really love to see these 2 functions in future updates. Batch Link multiple…
Import and export comments into a bluebeam studio session
I have the following suggestion: allow to Import and export comments into or out of a bluebeam studio session I made comments on my own document, there were several pages and lots of comments. I exported my comments, but I was not able to import them into the same file in a blue beam session. i was not able to copy all the…
Add 'Synchronize Scroll' view option
I'm running into a problem where I am trying to review a construction schedule, and the creator hasn't made any efforts to improve legibility. It's very difficult to review Gantt chart bars at the right half of the page and be zoomed in far enough to read the item and dates on the left side. I realized it would be very…
Links Open a Split Screen
I was thinking it would be a great feature if we could do something like a Shift + Click to have a link automatically open in split screen. We use split-screen a lot to compare pages a lot and it would just be one less step if we could split the screen automatically.
hatch tool lineweight
When hatching an area in bluebeam, you can change the lineweight of the shape, but you can't change the lineweight of the hatch. Sometimes it is hard to see the hatch. This would be a nice feature to consider adding.
Preset Server Region via command line switch
Bluebeam Revu needs a command line switch like /server:Germany, to preset the server, so that the Revu user does not get a server choice when logging in. Literally all our customers need this. Since the introduction of release 21, we at IDEOMA have a constant job of making sure that people pick the right server, while…
Flatten w/o markup recovery has a bug (or bad feature choice...)
I have tested this Flatten mis-behavior multiple times after stumbling on it recently: Individually Flatten one or more markups (select, right-click, Flatten; see below) Then use Document|Flatten… to flatten all (other) markups, leaving Allow Markup Recovery unchecked. (This would presumably mean that all markups are now…
Provide option to open PDFs 'read only'
When you try to open a PDF that is already opened by another user, Revu offers the option to open the PDF 'read only'. Unfortunately, this is not a typically available option. When opening a PDF via the file-open dialogue, there should always be an option (via drop-arrow) to open the file read-only. See screen-grab below…

Math Box
I am a structural engineer and we use Bluebeam a lot to mark up our structural drawings, shop drawings, etc. I also like to use Bluebeam where I can when putting together calculations by taking a snapshot of a detail and adding some typed out calculations right there on the PDF next to the detail. It would be nice if there…

Popular Suggestions

Edit/Unlock markups in Studio Sessions
Please add the ability to allow some users to edit/delete other peoples comments. This can be controlled through permissions. At our organisation when reviewing drawings there is a review manager that consolidates comments before sending them back. This process occurs regardless of if we are using Bluebeam or another tool.…
Add Folders for Studio Sessions!
Add folders for studio sessions to organize the list of recent Studio sessions. Some of our clients utilize one Studio session per deliverable on large projects that have multiple reviewers. It can be quite a task to find the one studio session for a smaller project amidst the rows and rows of studio sessions per…
Bullet points & Indent text
With more people using bluebeam as a CAD/drawing program. It would be nice if bullet points/numbers points with auto text indent was a feature.
Auto Save
It would be helpful to have an autosave function for PDFs being used in Revu. Currently this does not exist and would be very beneficial.
Numbered Lists and Bulleted List
This has been requested many many times in the past by many Revu users. WHY is there STILL no numbered/bulleted list function??
Alert attendee log
It would be great be able to see to whom and when the "alert attendee" has been done. Today you can see exactly who and when markups has been accepted but there are no info at all if a markup has been alerted to someone.
Keyboard Shortcuts for Assigning Statuses
It would be a huge time saver to have keyboard shortcuts for assigning markup statuses. Numerous workflows (e.g. QA/QC and design reviews, punch/back-check) involve multiple status changes for markups, and often times there are multiple statuses (or state models) to choose from. On large projects, with 100's if not 1,000's…
Optimisation for the new arm based windows machines
I hope you're doing well. I'm reaching out because I have a couple of suggestions that I think could make Bluebeam even better. First off, I've been really impressed with the new ARM-based Windows machines, especially those using the Snapdragon Elite X. They’re powerful, have great battery life—kind of like MacBooks in…
Editable Table
I'd like to create/insert a table into Bluebeam Revu that I can edit like any other markup.
Convert shape to Area
I don't know how many times I have drawn a rectangle or polygon shape to create an outline or fill, only to need the area. Instead of redrawing it, it would be great to be able to simply convert it to an area. Or have them always calculate area regardless of the tool?
