I have experienced this in the past when a page I am working on has multiple viewports. In my case, it was always transparent enough to not cause issues, but if you get enough viewports, I could see it being more or less solid. I'd recommend checking the viewports and removing any that aren't needed. This isn't a perfect fix, but might get you on your way.

I posted how I fixed this issue previously - https://community.bluebeam.com/discussion/comment/4706?utm_source=community-share&tab=all#Comment_4706

Have you reset your Hidden Messages in order that you are informed about untitled viewports as soon as you open a drawing? I make sure I leave this feature on as I find it the quickest way to clear all of them.

We struggle with this as well because we use an integration that begins sessions for us, so we need the ability to remove viewports from within the session if they were not removed beforehand. Currently we have to download the file, remove the viewports, re-upload the file, and then launch the integration. This defeats the purpose of paying for an expensive integration.

Converting from using IE mode to open Bluebeam pdf links
We are using the Revu version from 2015. We have yellow imbedded links in our PDFs that point to other PDFs.

How to auto create hyperlinks at callout to detail not just entire page
I’m using Bluebeam Revu 21.8 – Complete and trying to streamline navigation in a drawing set. My goal is to auto-create hyperlinks from callouts (e.g. 5/A401) that jump directly to the referenced detail viewport, not just to the destination sheet as a whole. I understand that Bluebeam can create page-to-page links, but I’m…
Revu app is gone, so cloud is lacking.
Kicking off the new year Bluebeam has eliminated the iOS version of the Revu app, so now we are stuck with cloud. Cloud seems to have less than 25% of the functions we used on the app, and are now faced with cancelling several subscriptions due to the lack of tools. Primarily we use the Toolset in the field, on tablets. We…
How to disable this Help Box?
How can I get this brown help suggestion box to stop popping up when I go to hyperlink? Every time I switch from document to document it lowers the page, and when I click to the next it moves the windows around just enough that I have to realign where I was hyperlinking to. Its very distracting and slows down work. I have…

Measurement Prompt
On older version: When the measurement scale wasn’t set on a PDF, adding a measurement markup used to trigger a prompt asking me to set the scale first. In the newer version of Bluebeam, that prompt no longer appears, and the measurement markup disappears. Now, I have to set the measurement scale before adding any…

Foreground focus does not register with mouse hovering
Windows 11, Revu 21.08.0.13613 I have a mouse with the forward and back buttons. I use LogiOptions+ to have the buttons do a keyboard shortcut only when using Bluebeam. Specifically, I make them do CTRL+Left/Right to go to the previous/next page of the pdf instead of the default of next/last view. This worked fine for the…
