In Bluebeam Revu for iPad (which is slated to end soon) I would insert a markup comment (text) and then "attach" a captured photo (or image from a file). This has become very useful during construction site observations / punch walks. Once back in the office after adding several comments with attached photos, I would use…
Hi, We are new to BB and just starting to setup our templates, library etc. I have seen comments on using BB for punchlists and viewed on youtube but does BB have a learning page on how to set these up properly? We do large multi storey hotel projects and ideally want a live punchlist of sorts. Thanks for your help
1- On-site usage of Bluebeam Cloud is highly convenient and effective. However, it would be greatly beneficial to incorporate a "Notes" feature similar to that available in Bluebeam Revu into the markup tools. This enhancement would enable users to add comments more efficiently, without compromising the document’s…
We were looking for a punch list tool for our projects. Cloud used to have Project Management process for submittals, RFI's and Punch Lists (if I remember correctly). I know those features went away. Now that Studio Projects show up in Cloud could the Punch List tool in Cloud be brought back and have it be able to link to…
To increase efficiency it would be ideal if, when exporting a markup summary, that one would be able insert page breaks for each individual punch item. Meaning that each singular punch item and associated embedded photo's get grouped together. This would allow Contractors to pull specific sheets and direct them to the…
We do a lot of field surveying of existing conditions and, of course, punch listing of projects being built. At a previous job we used PlanGrid. At my current company we use Bluebeam and I'm in the process of evaluating the use of Bluebeam in the field. Two capabilities that PlanGrid has that are missing from Bluebeam:…
I have adapted the Punch List feature in Bluebeam to work for Field Reports/Site Observations while on site, which has been a huge time saver, as I am able to generate the field report while onsite with minimal additional time post processing. I created two stamps one for Corrective Action (CA) and another for Planned Work…

Hi, I have a question regarding the "recover unsaved changes" window. In this window, there is a "recover" button but whatever I do, it always stay "unclickable". What is this button for? I have always been confused by this window because I thought I would have to select the files and click on "recover" but in fact, we…
When working with layers in Bluebeam, our estimating team typically uses the same template across all projects — about 15 main layers, each with multiple child layers. So far, we haven’t found a reliable way to transfer this full layer structure from one project to the next. We’ve tried saving the layers to a template file…
I created separate sets for my Arch, Struc, Civil, etc. drawings. It helps to have 2-3 open at once. They will open as a tab a the top of the window but only 1 Set is available at a time in the Sets window. Can I have more then one Set open and have is switch as I switch through the main window tabs?
Hi all, We're trying to automate the creation of toolchest for all of our clients and we're in the process of generating them from Autocad to the .btx format. Was wondering if there's any documentation out there for the btx file format ?
With no intentional change of software I have run into a situation that causes Revu v21.7 to be unusable for modifying PDF files. It only functions as a viewer. V21.7 has been working without issue until now. Multiple problems occur: All markup tools are grayed out and non-functional. The BB logo and the text "Sign In"…
I did a search and did not find anything. I am trying to get my company to switch for prints and highlighters to BlueBeam and doing take off. The first job is an airport distribution facility and all the PDF's plans are protected. All markup on the right is greyed out and I cannot paste out count symbols on devices to get…
Welcome to the fourth day of the #BluebeamSupportSeries! As part of our Bluebeam Support Series, we’re highlighting some of the most common questions and issues our Support Team has recently seen. Today’s post focuses on: Error "There was a problem processing your request" within the Org Admin Portal. A member of the…
Our firm has implemented Bluebeam and we have found many benefits. One issue that we have run into is building a regulatory report including dozens of attachments combined into a single PDF results in our clients unable to E-sign in Adobe and generating error codes regarding embedded fonts and unrecognized content. Is…
Recently my team has been encountering instances where Bluebeam seems to be adding multiple statuses, seemingly on it's own, to markups. It does it to multiple markups at a time too and takes a lot of real estate on the markup list. We're still actively working on identifying potential causes for this, as I personally have…
We need a report that identifies the users and the system names from which the Bluebeam application is being accessed. Specifically, we want to know who is logging in from which machines. This report is currently not available to the 'Org Admin' in your portal
