Eraser tool for iPad

Drakekoger1 · 2025-02-13T18:15:41+00:00

There was an error rendering this rich post.

For years I had been using the eraser tool with the PC version of Bluebeam, and now that I’m with a company that uses iPads I don’t see this CRITICAL tool available.

What am I missing? Is this tool just not available?

To be clear I’m talking about the tool that would erase anything on the pdf, not just a markup.

Thoughts?

Thanks!

I want so badly to just say to get off the iPad, but I see that's not your call. I just don't see Bluebeam as the kind of tool that would be best utilized on any sort of mobile device. I also don't have much experience in Bluebeam on iPads except to view PDFs through Bluebeam Vu for iPad or the Bluebeam Cloud app, since I work 99.9% of the time at a PC. It just isn't as powerful, but I can certainly see how THAT particular tool would be awfully intuitive to use on a tablet of any kind.

In the absence of the Erase Content tool, you could make a thick pen the same color of the background, usually white, and go to work with that. Once you flatten, it has the same effect.

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.

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…
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…
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.
