Hi,
How easy is to learn Bluebeam, how long would it take to learn the basics and be able to perform common tasks?
What's the benefit of handling this software?
Thanks,
Bluebeam is easy to learn the basics and the more powerful tools are not hard to learn either, but they do need to be used frequently to remember them. But that's true of any software.
Thanks a lot!

I am also a new user, I would say I learned the basics in a few days and even memorized some keyboard shortcuts. Now that I have been using it for about a month, I am starting to learn more in depth uses and trying to find better quicker ways to complete my tasks.
Hello @Gheorghe I am using Bluebeam software since 2015, and when I started to use Bluebeam it was very easy to learn for me to grab the tools and utilize it. I must say this a friendly user software.
It is quite easy to learn. If you are using it frequently, it will take one week to 10 days to learn the basics.
Hey @Gheorghe and others on this thread - I have a recent update from Bluebeam University, which will definitely speed up your learning:
We just released a new suite of courses on BBU called Start Using Bluebeam - it's split up by role, so you can learn features quickly based on your role in the industry.
And we're always looking for feedback, so please feel free to reach out if you would like to see a specific kind of course or video from us!
Hi all, We recently experienced a technical issue that caused users to have trouble accessing Bluebeam.com domains. The problem has been fixed, but it may take a little while for the fix to fully take effect everywhere due to how internet systems store temporary information. Thank you for your patience as everything…
When this happens, I can't move a directory with that file. This reddit post solved it for me. You just need to disable the recent file list in Revu. But I would like to use the recent file list feature someday, now that I have to turn it off. Please fix this Bluebeam. Thanks.…
Hi Bluebeam Community, I recently purchased two vacant residential lots in El Sereno/South Pasadena area to build at least two small temporary homes for families displaced by recent wildfires. This project will provide safe, dignified housing while survivors rebuild their lives—but I need your help to make it happen! How…
Resolved: Delete existing version and install old version. Question is in the title. I use the tool chest for my job, I make/edit/modify maybe 50-100 markups a day and whatever was done to the tool chest has ruined its functionality. A few examples: Double click to edit name is now extremely inconsistent. The markups are…
I do an absurd amount of take offs, and count all day long. I LOVE being able to leave a sequence, and resume it after looking at another page. This doesnt work anymore? Does anyone have any suggestions for me?
Since it looks like there is no way to unflatten a form field I am wondering if there is a way to lock one. So far I am not able to get it to work. Thanks
I've run an overlay on an 88-page project with lots of changes. When trying to print a physical copy, it gets hung up. Even printing in batches is slow because several pages lead to virtual freezing. Are there any tips on how to improve/speed up the printing process? I've flattened and reduced file size, but that has had…
This past week, I've had three separate requests from people about editing forms they are filling out. I don't make forms, so I have limited experience with them, but I was wondering if there are solutions that can be built into forms. What each person wanted was to change the font style/size of the form field for improved…
I have been using Revu to build quantity take-offs for construction estimates, I’m trying to clean up the organization and structure of the markups. I typically sort the markups by the subject, but I need to be able to re-sort the line items before I export the take-off. I can’t manually move items on the markup list up or…
Good morning, I logged a ticket with support but no response yet. I cleared the registry by doing a complete uninstall of all previous versions and used the Bluebeam Cleaner Utility (but that only goes back to 21.0.3. I also ran the latest download as an administrator yet the only thing that installs is OCR and when it…
