Printing Issues with ArcPro generated PDFs

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Hi, I'm a new Bluebeam user.

I am having issues with the way BlueBeam reads PDFs that I have generated from ArcPro. I have looked up and found that I need to check the box that says 'Remove layout background', along with when I go to print make sure the Advance printing settings says 'Image'. I've been making maps with those settings with little to no issue. However today I discovered that Revu doesn't like anything with Picture symbology, sometimes…. So I had to edit my map in symbology in ArcPro to finally get it to print correctly. I am not looking forward to having to change all my maps just so Revu will read the PDF correctly to print it.

Does anyone else have these issues? What am I doing wrong? Is this a possible BUG or future product enhancement? 🌎️

Any help would be greatly…

Custom tools moving within the same toolbox when selected
I have a toolbox that is organized numerically by the markups label.

This toolbox has many markups in it, and…

Log out of BB when closing the app
Hi folks, This question came in from a sales associate. Has anyone found a way for Bluebeam v 21 to sign the user when the desktop app is closed? It's not a native capability according to Bluebeam Support website but it kind of sounds like a script can be created for this. Thank you for looking. Vinnie
