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…
It would be great to be able to assign a shortcut to the email pages command from the thumbnail context menu.
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).…
I wonder if it would be possible to reset the active sequence by using the same shortcut, or even a combination. I.e., I "Set Numbering" on my toolchest, with the first slot being a sequence. I lay several out, then either I hit the "1" shortcut again, or a combination shortcut such as "Ctrl+1" to reset the sequence so I…
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.
At work, we got a feedback about a bluebeam function. The Find tools + Commands menu is awesome but it is quite time consuming to always get it from the menu. We haven't found the possibility to add it as a button nor use a keyboard shortcut. we should have the ability to call for it as we can call for the search tool with…

This was a suggestion from an end user email I received. Current State: Flipping to various pages in a PDF by manually clicking into the page number area of the Navigation Bar and typing in the page number. Suggestion: a keyboard shortcut to jump into the page number area to type in the destination page number. This would…
Create a few custom keyboard shortcuts for your most used tools or commands. Not too many, otherwise its hard to remember all of them. I had problems with overlapping Markups. Therefore I use F1 to hide all markups with a single button, even while using different tools, without anything in the way. After completing the…
I really fancy using checkmarks while working as an easy way to cross off my progress while incorporating comments from my colleageus and it's rather cumbersome having to right click and navigate to the checkmark every time. I'd love a shortcut, and even more so the ability to customize my own shortcut for this.
Hi everyone! Welcome to the October 2024 Monthly Challenge! Last month, we explored how you add your "Seal of Approval" to documents, whether through signatures, stamps, watermarks, or other methods. We saw some great responses and a variety of methods across the community. This month, we’re shifting gears to focus on…

One of my co-workers cannot get the sign in button to work at all, flashes for a second then goes back to "Sign in". Tried switching / resetting profiles, restarting. Really trying to avoid re-install.
Good Day Bugs-We recently changed from Adobe to BB. I needed to reduce a large size pdf. It seemed easy to do, and was happy to see I could do multiple files at once. However, the files are still too large to email. 15-30mb. I have tried reducing again, moved the quality slider in the output options box and it still only…
Hi everyone, It's my first time posting and I just started using the markup list for reporting, but I'm running into issues in Revu 21.6. 1)Exporting Non-Comment Text: A Markup Summary report includes text from the drawing that is not a comment. I presumed this happens because the text is editable? The goal is to filter…
I am able to add a hyperlink to my sheet when my photo is located on my local drive, is there a way to share the file to someone else with the hyperlink and have them be able to pull up the same hyperlink to the pdf?
I'm currently working on customizing the engineering review stamp from the custom libraries, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to edit it without disabling the pop-up feature that appears when placing the stamp. Ideally, I want the pop-up to remain active so that the reviewer can fill out the required fields…
Hello, recently I have encountered an issue regarding certain snapshots and their interactions in other PDF viewers after flattening. When documents flattened in Bluebeam Revu are opened in Adobe Acrobat, snapshots that were previously flattened are able to be selected and edited. Is there a way to have snapshots flatten…
how do I link my excel spreadsheet to bluebeam for takeoffs
What is the difference with spaces and places?
This morning, I read the latest tip and trick post with custom statuses. I edited a status, and then I created a filter which dimed out the markup once it was set. My question is, Is there a way to save a predefined view of the markups list for when I am going through revise and resubmit drawings?
Is there a way to reorganize form fields in Bluebeam Revu so they follow the correct tab order when filling out a form? Right now, whenever I add a new field, it gets added to the bottom of the list in the Forms panel. For example, if I originally create fields "Text 1" and "Text 3", then go back and add "Text 2" between…
