How are the new 2026 accessibility requirements impacting your PDF workflows?
Hi everyone, In light of the new ADA Title II regulations, many state and local governments — and the vendors who work with them — need their digital documents to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA by April 24, 2026 (or 2027 for smaller jurisdictions). This includes PDFs that end up on public websites or portals. I’m trying to…

Is there a way to completely hide the “Scale” text in Bluebeam Revu 21 page labels
I’ve noticed that in Revu 21, every page in the Thumbnails panel now shows “Scale: Not Set” if the PDF doesn’t have a defined drawing scale. In my case, I review and organize a lot of documents like submittals, wiring diagrams, proposals, and building maps, none of which use or need scales. The problem is that the “Scale:…

Revu Automatically Scales Images on Import
I've been experiencing issues with how Revu scales images. My workflow is to import a PNG, add some clouds to it, and export it as another PNG. I have "Import Image Resolution" set to "Original," but have consistent issues with small images (1050x1796), which Revu paradoxically downscales to oblivion. Additionally, I have…

Multiple windows
When I am working with multiple pdf files, I have to extend one or more files to the second monitor. When a pdf is brought to the second monitor, the Bluebeam ribbon and menus will not go along with it to the second monitor and I will always have to select the tools from the original bluebeam window in the fist monitor. In…

No Spaces Between Words When Typing in a text Box
I'm trying to fill out some ITB Documents with BB but whenever I create a new text box and then type in the text box my space bar does not work. This just becomes a long string of words. I have tried to uninstall and reinstall the program but the issue remains. I never had this problem previously, and have been running BB…

Links to spreadsheet not updating
Hey guys, I have an excel template I use for take-offs. While on the spreadsheet, when I set the source file to the drawing, there is a very small chance that it successfully links. Usually, I have to set the source file, nothing happens, so I then set up a new quantity link. When i setup a new link, all the other quantity…

Custom symbols not showing in my toolbox but hovering shows their description
I was tasked with creating custom symbols for my company and I' having some odd issues. After importing the toolboxes, some of the symbols are "missing" in the sense that they don't show up in the toolbox. If I hover over the location where it should be, all the pop-up info still shows. I can select the symbol and place it…

Ghost mode Studio Session option
Please add an option for a user while in a studio session to be able to turn on a 'ghost' mode where all markups made while that mode is on will disappear after a set period or when they leave the session. This will allow people to make temporary markups such as during a meeting that are not meant to remain as formal…

Bluebeam vs Adobe Form Calculations
Here's an odd one that was brought to my attention from a user here. This is an XFA form created by the North Dakota DOT, and when data is entered into the form fields, the resulting math is incorrect when opened in Bluebeam but correct in Adobe. Bluebeam Revu 21.8: Adobe Acrobat: Since this form was created by an external…

OPEN A PDF TO A PARTICULAR PAGE FROM EXTERNAL SOFTWARE HYPERLINK
I am trying to create links in external software (Excel, Work, Mindmanager…) to open PDFs in Bluebeam to a particular page, both locally and with cloud shared PDF but I have not succeeded. Has anyone else found a solution to this? Thank you.

HYPERLINK TO A PARTICULAR PAGE FROM LINKS IN OTHER SOFTWARE
I use Mindmanager and Excel to organize projects. I want to embed a hyperlink to these documents to open a local PDF in Bluebeam to a particular page. Another great feature would be to be able to link to a page in a PDF hosted on a shared cloud server. It seems that unlike Acrobat, Bluebeam does not recognize instructions…

Stamps with Dynamic Page Numbers
Hi All, The idea is to have a submittal stamp show the current page and total amount of pages in a pdf. The issue is currently Revu (to my knowledge) does not support a way for stamps to use dynamic content referencing the document they are stamped into, only in the host PDF with the stamp. If we are able to have this…

Extract specific data from scanned pdf and place into Excel
Is it possible to extract data from multiple pre-defined locations on hundreds of scanned PDF's and extract/export to excel? Scanned pdf's would have same form and locations of information. I have been able to extract all of information on pages (creates mess) but no way to capture just certain fields/locations?
