Do you remember the first time you were introduced to Bluebeam or the first thing you learned how to use?
If you could give one piece of advice or tip to new Revu users, what would it be?

Ask questions.
A thousand times yes to asking questions, @Doug McLean!!! Personally, for a long time, a fear of mine was not appearing as smart as other people if I didn't know something about a certain topic. But in my experience, I've learned people are always more than happy to share! I think I ask about 100 questions a day now - ha!
Suggestion #1: In many cases, Bluebeam Revu provides multiple ways to get something done. Before you are faced with a critical project deadline or document release, spend some time to practice using your business process as a guide. For each step of the process, make sure you know and have practiced at least one way to perform that task in Bluebeam.
Suggestion #2: use the largest possible computer monitor you can. Use two if possible!
Look up the keyboard shortcuts and learn the ones for tools you use the most, like highlight or measure. Pretty soon you'll run circles around the rest of the office. https://support.bluebeam.com/revu/resources/keyboard-shortcuts.html
I agree with the monitor. I was able to talk my boss into an HD 32". It really does make a difference
Or 4….
I can relate 🤣
For any brand new user, the first thing you are going to want to do is change off the Revu profile. Revu> Profiles> Revu Advanced. This actually changes the UI quite a bit and makes it look a little more like AutoCAD. Now think about your workflow, how did you do that before? Look through the toolbars to find something that's close to what you would do with a pen, and just have fun.
Doug and Jes,
Both excellent suggestions. Thank you!
Seeing as to how many rave reviews there AREN'T for Cloud, I wanted to come on here and list a few features that are desperately needed, and see if anyone else has insight into how the mobile version can be made as awesome as the PC version: Undo/redo button - Honestly can’t believe this is not there… dynamic editing of…
Hi all, I am posting to check if there has been any changes with support for fully independent windows when dragging tabs out. When I drag a tab away from the main window, the new window does not have the full toolbar, and minimizing one window causes both to minimize. I know I can open a new instance from the taskbar, but…
Good lord why isn't there a way to lock the tool chest. Why are tools jumping around from section to section. I am not doing it, it actually wont let you move tools the way that it is moving tools around by itself. Sooo frustrating knowing that you have built a tool, to find it missing and then to re-find it in an entirely…
I often use Revu to combine documents into one PDF. Revu always asks if I want to save the stapler job before exiting. I never want to save the stapler job. Is there a way to stop that "Save Job before Exiting" popup from coming up?
I would like to create a custom column that will give me either one of two choices. 4x8 or 4x10 based on logic. Is this possible?
Is there any work-around to no keyboard shortcut for exporting a page region to Excel? I have made several (unsuccessful) attempts to figure out a way to pin this function to a toolbar, but this does not seem possible either. Is there a feature that I don't know about that will allow me to simply add this shortcut, or add…
Hello peers, My goal using BB is to create excel spreadsheets of the counts of Exhaust Fans, Grilles, equipment etc. But most importantly ductwork. Instead of using the measurement tool where it gives you red measurements inbetween two arrows, is there a way I can highlight the duct run and it store the measurement?…
Is there a way to change the search engine used when I look up text from a file?
In the latest update 21.7, semi-transparent or "highlight" markups are completely blocking out the content when measuring many documents. This creates more work if I have to guess a point location then remember to come back and fix it. I've been using BB for more than 10 years and the markups have always respected their…
Feel like I'm losing my mind. but I save my custom column to profile but every time I bring in a new PDF it removes it. What can be causing this. I have saved my profile and custom multiple times a day
