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!
Help! I need to open AutoCAD files and can't find the basic instructions to find and install the plugin that will enable me to open, mark up, and save native dwg format files into a new pdf markup. I opened 'Administrator' but can't find the option to install a new plugin to Bluebeam. I only have Excel and Word plugins,…
I marked up a cloud in Revu and added three comments to the markup. On the web version, I can see all three comments. However, on the iPad, only two are displayed, and the first comment is not visible. Does anybody know how to display the first comment on the iPad?
I have a snapshot that I saved in my toolbox. The picture went away and the tool was grayed out, so I deleted it. The empty snapshot got onto my document while I was doing this process. I did not realize it at the time and continued marking up the document. Everything else is working properly. Now I have the grayed out…
Hi—has anyone found a way to navigate the menu bar using alt and arrow keys (or something else)? I'm currently seeing that pressing alt highlights "revu" on the left, but no key can drop it down or shift the highlight to a different menu bar option (eg document). I also notice that if alt is pressed, then a menu bar option…
CAn we export form Bluebeam to DXF. If not any way we can export the lines to be used in anlaysis software
Some of the consultant drawings I receive have a protected scale and when taking measurement and areas it doesn`t show up in the markup list. Also the drawing is blued out. Is there away around this Many thanks Murray
I've been trying to find anything related to this, but all I see is default tool 'settings' but I want to change the tool, not settings of the tool. The default selected now is the pan tool but my most used tool is the select text tool and when I open a new PDF or have multiple opened and then I close one, Revu will change…
Hello, I have used the Grab feature for years and it is one of my most frequently used tools. Recently, however, when I grab from one drawing and paste into another, the file size increases from around 1 MB to 2 GB. If I switch off “Take Vector Snapshots”, it resolves the file size issue and the drawing size hardly…
Hey, Is anyone know why Revu is crashing. I open it uplaod plans start measuring and it just crashes. I have uninstalled and re-installed. I have a very time sensitive project that I am doing and need it now and support is over 24hrs away. Any help be much appreciated. Thank you
When working on a file, Bluebeam will freeze then shut down. It's been happening quite frequently. Why is this happening?
