✴️ Feature Highlight: Matching Colors with the Eyedropper Tool

This week, we're highlighting how to match markup colors instantly using the Eyedropper tool in Bluebeam Revu!

Keeping your markups visually consistent is key—especially when teams use color to represent trades, status updates, or review comments.

Instead of manually selecting the same color each time, Revu makes it easy to match colors with one click.

➡️Here’s how to match colors using the Eyedropper tool:

Select your markup
Go to the Properties Toolbar
Open the Color picker (Text Color, Border Color, Fill Color, etc.)
Click the Eyedropper tool icon
Then click anywhere on the PDF to sample and apply that exact color

✨This is perfect for:

Matching existing markup styles
Keeping tool sets consistent
Aligning annotations with project standards
Speeding up repetitive formatting work
Matching your organization’s brand colors

Feature request: Markups list docking
It would be nice is the Markups list could be docked (not floating) on the right side of the screen.
view not refreshing
Has anyone had Bluebeam stop refreshing the view while working on documents? This has become a real issue for me. I often have several single sheet PDFs open while reviewing plans sets. I do this so I can cross reference from one sheet to the other to verify all sheet are consistent. I need to be able to look at multiple…
Option to add barcode into drawings
In our new lighting projects, we are tasked with adding barcodes to each lighting fixture in a diagram. When printed, these barcodes can be scanned to control the lighting fixtures. It would be ideal to have an option to generate quick, generic barcodes instead of taking pictures, saving them, and then adding them as JPG…
Tool Chest
I wish we had subcategories under Toolchest. I have made tools for every category of plumbing using the Norwegian standard for naming them. But I wish there were subcategories for that as well. There are a lot of tools to create. I have also made my own linestyle for every one of the pipe tools. It have been easier if I…
Why can’t we link/attach a photo to a callout in a project on iPad?
this change from Bluebeam for iPad to Bluebeam cloud just made the program useless. When we are in the field, attaching a photo to a markup was 80% of the point, so when exporting a summary, the photo would be with the callout. How is this most-used feature gone? I am just now finding this out at 1am and have to travel in…

I have been able to do this on the web app on my computer but…

Disable Double Left Click Zoom Feature
Is there an option or way to disable the feature that allows a double left click to prompt the area box that allows you to zoom?
Stamping and digital signatures in Cloud
What is the schedule for enabling Cloud to allow batch stamping and signing of pdfs along with digital signatures as is available in Revu on Windows? It would be most helpful to be able to access, stamp, and sign drawings on an ipad instead of carrying laptops.
