Insert hyperlink in excel sheet with Destination in PDF

Hi,

I'm just wondering if we can put hyperlink in excel sheet to jump to the specific destination in PDF like PDF summary with "Append and Hyperlink to Current PDF".

I'd like to create an excel sheet with the list of markups and would like to put the link the the each markups.

Please let me know if you have any idea.

Thank you.

Hi Mai. I have not seen that ability in Bluebeam.
I could be wrong; it sounds like you might be using Excel as a Markup Register of all the markups on a PDF created in Bluebeam, then Exporting to Excel to be reviewed external to the PDF.

If that is true or similar, I suggest that you not use Excel because once the data is out of Bluebeam and in another software, the data is disconnected. My clients have successfully used workflows within Bluebeam to accomplish Markup tracking. These are creating Statuses that align with the tracking stages they had used for years in Excel. As for a report, these clients use a PDF Report to make it simpler for people to review the markups without looking at every drawing.

If you really want to push high-level reporting, push the data out and into Excel for a Pivot Table or Power BI to review the number of markups that could be "critical," "general," etc.

In short - if you can, keep the PDF as the single source of truth, and track the changes through the Markup List, your Excel lite data tool in Revu.

Good luck

Hi Shanoc, Thank you for your answer.

It looks like I should keep markup list in PDF and have hyperlink.

What I was asked to do was kind of similar to what you explained but it's not really critical. I was asked to create a manual in PDF and have a list in Excel but I would recommend them to have a list in the same PDF as manuals.

Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge! It was good to know there are some ways.

This is a simple question. When I've 'Checked Out' a document in my BB Studio Project and added mark-ups, does it automatically Save when I 'Check In'? Or should I click save first, and then Check In?
