🗓️ July - August 2026 Challenge - Summer Shortcuts!
Hi everyone! We're bringing back a community favorite for July and August—Shortcuts! This challenge will run for a couple months, as it's a popular feature. The last time we ran a shortcuts challenge was back in October 2024, and a lot has changed since then. New community members have joined, workflows have evolved, and…

Alt to access menu bar
Hi—has anyone found a way to navigate the menu bar using alt and arrow keys (or something else)? I'm currently seeing that pressing alt highlights "revu" on the left, but no key can drop it down or shift the highlight to a different menu bar option (eg document). I also notice that if alt is pressed, then a menu bar option…

Feature Highlight: Customize your keyboard shortcuts
If you find yourself reaching for the same tools over and over — or reassigning the same markup properties every time — there's a faster way to work. Revu lets you customize your own keyboard shortcuts, so the tools and commands you use most are always one keystroke away. ➡️ Here's how: Go to Revu > Keyboard Shortcuts.…

Ctrl-E Keyboard Shortcut
Currently the "Ctrl-E" shortcut opens an email window with the active .pdf attached and the subject line matches the filename of the .pdf. This is my most used BlueBeam shortcut. Problem is Microsoft is pushing "New Outlook" on users and I'm begrudgingly becoming used to it (it's actually great for a lot of things BTW).…

Bluebeam Shortcut Inactivated Whilst Using Form Fields
When a document has Form Fields (e.g. Tools —> Forms —> Text Box), the keyboard shortcut is inactivated. I can't use my regular keyboard shortcut. Normally, from my Tool Sets, I'd hit "1" for the green rectangle markup. I can still click and select them but I'd rather not to move my fingers off the keyboard….. Does anyone…

I would like better keyboard shortcuts
I am a Bluebeam power user who relies heavily on macros and custom keyboard shortcuts to improve speed and precision in my workflow. I would like to suggest several enhancements to drawing and markup controls that would significantly improve efficiency for advanced users. Ive been thinking about these for a while so this…

Ctrl+B Bookmark Shortcut Error
Since we've updated to Revu 21.9, we've noticed some PDFs prevent us from using the "Ctrl+B" keyboard shortcut to bookmark a page. However, if you save the document, even if no changes were made, it then allows you to use the keyboard shortcut to add a bookmark. Seems to be some sort of glitch related to the recent update.

Restore Last Closed Tab/Tabs
Would be great if there was a feature to restore the last closed tab/tabs. (Similar to Ctrl + Shift + T offered in most browsers) I've lost track of the amount of times I've accidentally closed a tab but because it was opened a while ago/from an email attachment, it doesn't show up in my file history.

escape key functionality change
I'm not sure how the Escape key became the "Enter" key for completing text entry, but I would love the ability to remap it to something more logical and "windows" standard so that I'm not continually loosing data entered in other applications (Excel) that I'm using along-side Bluebeam Revu.

Logitech Thumb Buttons for Page Navigation
I have my Logitech mouse thumb buttons assigned to page up and page down to navigate pdfs quickly. Bluebeam has some hidden setting that sets those same buttons to Previous View and Next View. Would be nice if Bluebeam allowed me to have those mouse buttons be either Next Page/Previous Page or Next View/Previous View but…

Is there a way to pin the 'Find Tools + Commands' search bar to top ribbon or bottom tool tray?
I use it a lot and would like to have it open at all times for quicker access. Even a keyboard shortcut would be nice, if there is one, please let me know. Thanks in advance, -Wes s

Keyboard shortcuts don't work in many PDF's
Typically I have no issues using keyboard shortcuts in a PDF. But too often I find myself unable to invoke any commands via keyboard shortcuts in a PDF; I have to resort to using menus and toolbars to invoke the commands instead. What is going on here? Is there some kind of a lock of these PDF's?

Help? - Quickly/Easily File>Export>Excel Workbook>Page Region
Is there any work-around to no keyboard shortcut for exporting a page region to Excel? I have made several (unsuccessful) attempts to figure out a way to pin this function to a toolbar, but this does not seem possible either. Is there a feature that I don't know about that will allow me to simply add this shortcut, or add…

Presentation Mode shortcut
A coworker just asked how to go full-screen on a PDF, and I showed him the "full screen and Presentation options. One issue that came up was that the shortcut for Presentation (ctrl+Enter) didn't work. Any ideas why?

Shortcut Improvements
Thank you for the hard work already done with keyboard shortcuts. I have a few things that would really benefit my workflow and others might find useful as well. Unlocking reserved shortcuts. I would love to change next page to a different key bind. I can override this in a separate shortcut tool but I would like to change…
