Did you know that you can easily create a layered PDF from a group of existing PDFs, where each will be a separate layer in the PDF? First, go to File > Create > Layered PDF Click Add Open Files to add all files currently open in Revu to the layered PDF. You can select a file and click to remove one. Comment down below: Do…
Hi Team, Can properties like those available to edit bookmarks please be added to layers? For example, Bold, Italic and Highlight.
When selecting layers, CNTRL SHIFT select , we cannot move the LAYERS in a group they HAVE to be done individual this is extremely inconvenient as its a simple movement of layers and option If we have 100's or layers, this is very time consuming when a simple option to select all in a group and move up or down into a…

Example: Layers: Main document Overlay document #1 Overlay document #2 Right click overlay document #1 layer > assign to layer shortcut key > toggle on/off assigned…
Working with really large PDF sets, sometimes it seems performance may be hindered by a set with layers that were exported from the originating software, i.e. AutoCAD. It would be nice if there was a merge layers option to bring all layers to one.
I submit a request about the printing of drawings, measurements and markups that are in specific layers. I draw measurements in buildings to demolish or to construct, on an architect et engineer drawing; I design one layer for unique elements, one layer for elements on the ground, one layer for vertical elements on walls,…
I apply markups on top of each other to represent takeoff items for estimating. Each markup is on a separate Layer so that they can be toggled on and off for clarity. I will then group these markups and add them to the Tool Chest for repeat copy and paste. These pasted markups are then Ungrouped so that I have individual…
As a long-time user of both Bluebeam and AutoCAD, I'd like to propose a feature that would significantly enhance layer management workflow: a dedicated layer toolbar with a dropdown list, similar to AutoCAD's implementation. Layers are crucial to my workflow, both for markup organization and CSV export processes. While…
This week, we’re highlighting Layers in Bluebeam Revu. Layers let you organize content, making it easy to show or hide different elements like markups or design details. How have you used layers to keep your documents organized?

Can Bluebeam Connect to Google Drive? I notice that Adobe can connect directly to Google Drive, but I cannot find an option for Bluebeam. I also checked the Google Play Store and did not see Bluebeam listed. Does Bluebeam support direct integration with Google Drive, or is there another method people are using to connect…
I'm not sure how long ago this changed, but it was pretty recent…. I used to be able to make a legend from my tool counts per page by selecting the counts to be per the "current" page and then at the begining of the document on the cover page I could create a Master Legend with the Total Counts that had ALL the counts from…
Many of my customers organize their Recent Files into Categories. What is the best practice to get this handy piece of user settings across into a new Bluebeam setup? I used Ctrl+K > Admin > Backup / Restore, but the Recent Files content seems to be not in the UserPreferences.xml. Anyone here to tell me where it is and how…
On the Bluebeam website, under "Resources" > "Need an older version of Revu?" there is only v20 and older. This needs new options, like v21.6. Currently the need for this is high, because v21.7 has a highly annoying "new feature" while drawing polylines, areas and contour and area measurement. Something goes visually wrong…
When I open a set of plans in Bluebeam, I get hundreds and many times thousands of items that automatically populate into the Markups List. I try to delete them but it won't allow this to happen. Does anyone know how to get rid of these or stop them from importing? They are mainly random labels, words or drawings…
Hi, I have just updated my bluebeam last weekend and when i am trying to measure, there is now a thick line which blocks the view of my clicking point. i have line weight disabled already. Its just when i am measuring via length, Polylength, area etc. it has slowed up my measuring process as i cant click on the points I am…
Hi All. i have reached out to the support team, but without getting the needed help. They wrote that the problem was due to the drawing being "large", but the problem is not connected to all large drawings. The Drawing is not responding dynamic to zoom, but keeps loding in small bites/fields, making the it slow to work…
When selecting a markup to use such as one that measures area for carpet, while in the process of using the markup tool, the wall lines are totally obliterated by a solid line that is impossible to see through no matter what the opacity setting is of the line. This leaves the markup a matter of guesswork as to where the…
When extracting pages, I currently have to either: Select all pages first, then use Extract [Ctrl+Shift+X], or Go to Extract and change the page range dropdown from Selected to All Pages. Is there a way to skip these steps and have All Pages set as the default so I can extract the full document with a single click?
