I love to use the search to find equipment tags on a print, but some documents dont search for some reason — What do I need to do to make them searchable?
Doug,
Nevermind… I got it figured out using this video. https://youtu.be/YIbGYGH4j9w?si=-QWbmqF9NOPWKO6N Thanks for your original answer though getting me to the OCR point. You da man! 👊
check to see if its a vector or raster based pdf first. Easiest way I've found is to change your cursor to Select Text and then hover over some text. If it changes when you're over text, you have a Vector based PDF, if not you have a Raster based one which is essentially an image. Run your OCR and Search should work.
What does Run OCR mean? I printed a document to Bluebeam PDF after opening it with Firefox to bypass the security restrictions and now the first 190 pages are not searchable (I guess that means they are Raster based from what you're saying here). Is there a way to change that? The original document (the one with all of the security measures in place) is entirely searchable so I'm not really sure how or why it changed when i printed to PDF from Firefox. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
I have a form and am trying to mail merge data into the form. Could you please advise how do I create a .dfd file with my data that I want to include in the mail merge
Cloud and Cloud+ color fills only are changing from 10% to solid. First noticed in a Studio session. When selected, the solid fill reads as 10% in toolbar and properties panel. If bumped up or down, it resets to 10%. The solid fills return after closing, leaving, logging out for all users. Comments exported and imported…
I would like to modify the 'Markups List / Export to .pdf' output appearance. Specifically: Increase the size of the .pdf screenshot graphic so that it takes up half or all of the page width. Reduce or eliminate the center column that lists the selected columns. Reduce or eliminate the column on the right that re-prints…
Not sure if this is a bug. We are Fire Risk Assessors so are often need to either colour in a wall or change the colour of a door on floor plans. We also have to draw lines to show the length of a certain route. Here's what I've noticed: 1 = The fill colour choices for a Polygon are not the same as the Change Colour…
I noticed that starting on 12/16 the invitation emails from BB for a Session no longer show the full Session title. They have always come in showing this example: You've been invited to Studio Session BP25-1257 Review 2 As of 12/16 the subject line is only showing this: You've been invited to a Studio Session Is everyone…
Can I set (within my preferences) the units to be meters ? When I calibrate for dimensions etc, it always assumes mm's and not m's. I would like my default to be m's
My color PDFs are showing as black and white. The mark ups are in color, but the original document is not. How do I get them to show as color?

Hi I’m new to Bluebeam so quite raw, I’ve inherited somebody else’s toolbox, and I’m not allowed to change the items within the toolbox (company policy), so my reason for writing is within my toolbox there are lots of rectangles which I can’t rotate to line up with diagonal lines on my drawing templates i.e. school…
Hey guys, my name is sam, fairly new user. I was sent a set of pdf's that are scale protected, so blue beam will not work is there a way to unlock these at my end or do I need to reach out to the engineers to unlock? thanks
