Is there any way to open Australian Standards from SAI Global in Bluebeam?

Colby Gallagher - TfNSW - DE Manager · 2024-09-16T04:53:49+00:00

There was an error rendering this rich post.

When I try to open an Australian Standard document from SAI Global in Bluebeam it says "This page is protected. This document is compatible with Adobe Reader DE, Adobe DE, PDF-Exchange".

Any workarounds for those that prefer to use Bluebeam?

From the SAI Global website - https://www.saiglobal.com/online/Help/Index

Can I use a different PDF reader to Adobe Acrobat?

FileOpen plugin not only works with Adobe Acrobat Reader but also with a number of 3rd party PDF viewers.

These include: Foxit Reader, Nuance PDF Reader, Nitro PDF Reader among others.

For more information, visit FileOpen

The FileOpen website mentions Bluebeam so I'm not sure if SAI is using a DRM feature that Bluebeam doesn't support - https://www.fileopen.com/products/3rd-party-viewers

Is there a workaround here?

Let me check with SAI and Bluebeam Product; this has been in the works and will be included in an update.
I will confirm if it will be in the next Bluebeam Revu release.

If any of the product teams have updates, please share.

Thanks, Shan and Colby…

We've made some updates to this that are included in Revu 21.3, which is slated to launch next week. Colby, if you are able to try this file again next week on 21.3, we'd appreciate your feedback. We can also test this file internally before next week if you'd like to DM us the file.

Thanks for posting!
