We have the need
While you can lock markups, anyone else can unlock and edit them. You could flatten the markups, but then they disappear from the Markups List, which makes it difficult to pinpoint every change to the file that was made. It would be great if there was a type of locking permission (similar to the "do not allow unflatten…
It would be a game changer to add permissions to Studio users to allow editing of other user markups. People's minds would explode with delight if this seemingly simple feature was added. Effort to implement: Low Impact: High Result: Awesome new collaboration capability
I would like the ability to add custom columns in "show caption" For example, being able to show the weight of the wall in the image below, so we can see whether the crane can lift it.
As a group leader and inventor of several specialized and internal tools in the toolbox for Bluebeam users within the company, I would like to have the ability to lock certain toolboxes in order to prevent users from changing their settings, and this to maintain uniformity on certain annotations. Just for some tools, not…
Rather than a Fillet command to achieve rounded corners for detail enlargements, maybe there is a way to have ShapeTypes? - Enlargement Rectangle with editable radii, or even sketchy shape like architecture hand sketchy style A perfect example of this diagraming potential is PowerPoint where there is a huge menu of…
It would be very useful to be able to copy a "space" to multiple sheets at once. Apply to pages type of action.
Flags Tab – If I have, say the window schedule part of the Flags zoomed in and I switch to another Flag. When I come back to it, it loses how I had it Zoomed. Can you make it so that wherever I had it zoomed into, it stays at that same spot?
I recently upgraded to the latest version of Bluebeam from Version 20.3 and it is a disaster. There are 2 major problems that occur that have essentially eliminated the way that I typically do estimates. The recent tools button now records the same tool over and over again every time I use it. So if I use a polylength tool…
I think it would really help workflow to have a way to lock layers and make those markups unable to be touched so they exist in the background only.
I think it would be incredible for workflow to have the option to group or color tabs your have open. It is often I am working on several projects a week and having the ability to sort between 10-15 PDFs I need open at the same time to correlate would be awesome.
Adobe and PDF Exchange have the ability to change the page initial view. Options are for Thumbnails and page or page only. Whilst this does not affect the presentation of the file in Bluebeam some of our clients require that we set the page initial view to page only. Please can Bluebeam add this property to document…
The new mobile app, cloud, does not allow you to capture photos on comments. This is a huge issue since all my work is outside and I can’t just add pictures to the pdf because they are too large.
Hello, We use Bluebeam Studio with projects/sessions connected to Tyler's Enterprise Permitting & Licensing (EPL) software. If an employee leaves our organization, the sessions in EPL will break. Tyler will "mass" update all the employees owned projects/sessions by running a script on their end. However, the records need…
I would like Bluebeam to support interactive forms. I use Denver Water to pay my water bills and have to keep Adobe Acrobat installed for only this application. It would be nice to be able to do this in Bluebeam. For example, via a “Pay Now” button that opens a secure payment form or gateway, I realize this is not…

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 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…
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.
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.
This has been requested many many times in the past by many Revu users. WHY is there STILL no numbered/bulleted list function??
I'd like to create/insert a table into Bluebeam Revu that I can edit like any other markup.
Request is for the ability to group open PDFs into tabs, similar to the way that Microsoft Edge allows for web pages to be grouped together into tabs (Edge allows you to take a number of open websites and add them to a named / color-coded group tab. This allows for multiple websites to be open, but organized into group…
Hi Bluebeam Team, I am writing to suggest a feature update that would significantly improve the workflow efficiency for users who rely on the Snapshot tool (G). Current Issue: Currently, if a user takes a snapshot and realizes there is excess content or "clutter" around the edges, they must delete the snapshot and re-take…
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…
Hi. It would be very helpful to have a Bluebeam Revu (we use 20 at my company) functionality to be able to download all of the files within a Studio Session with one or two clicks as opposed to having to download all files individually. This would save time, especially for Sessions with a large number of files (100+ is…
