What's up community?! I am struggling with an efficient procedure to create bookmarks in bluebeam. I know how to create bookmarks and parent/child formatting. I want to know if it is possible to write a script or if a default method exists to have bluebeam create a parent bookmark such as electrical, mechanical, plumbing,…
A bunch of scanned drawings were obtained and processed with OCR. As it is hard to control how the printer scans the drawings, the drawings will not be aligned. It would be great to include a function to align drawings based on the title block. So when the users run the automark function by selected region, the accuracy…
My issue is a question/idea but is it currently possible to save/reuse selected Page Regions made when creating new Thumbnail Page Labels or in Bookmarks. We use the Page Labels/Bookmarks 'Page Region' feature to extract out drawing title block information, but I have to redo the same region selections for each new package…
The proposed feature would allow users to extract text from a designated selection box in the same section of each page within a document. Additionally, it would provide the capability to combine and extract these selections into a single, consolidated text output.
Hello, it would be very useful if in the Create Page Labels menu there was an option to create page labels with content from a particular header/footer region. Since all my pages are different sizes/orientations, I have to go back through with the "create page labels by region" workflow for each different location to get…
Attempting to automate certain functions but running into problems when creating page labels. ORC doesn't seem to work for me in those cases where the architect decides to use creative page labeling. I'll get strange characters or nothing at all. Has anyone found a solution for this type of problem?
I just created a ToolSet for steel framing where I used a Custom Column to display the Steel Member Size on the Markup Dimension (what I use for Steel Framing) on the PDF. This worked great because I used a Choice Custom Column to filter the different sizes into different categories based on the Markups Subject name. I am…
I am doing window and door takeoffs, basically placing a bunch of rectangular area measurements and then manually labeling each one, "W101, W102, W 103" I can't understand why there is no way to make this automatic. I have played around with the custom formula columns but I havent been able to make anything work so far.…

Curious if others have experienced this error when trying to PDF from the Bluebeam Add-in within Word and if you have any fixes: Version: 21.6.1 Operating System: Windows 10
Hi. I've been banging my head against this one for a long time and it seems to be an intended feature. For all of my measurement markups, it seems like I can't add or modify comments. It will only prepopulate the comments field based on what I select to show in caption under properties. In practice what this means for me…
BB crashed and I had added/edited dozens of tools and when I logged back in many of the toolsets were not showing in my profile or in the toolset list (so not hidden). Any ideas? And when I tried importing it said they already existed….
I am struggling with converting certain tables and/or bid tabs from PDF into Excel. I have tried the entire document and just the page region, but when I export the data, the formatting is all screwed up. I can't seem to get the tables to import neatly. Any suggestions?
Every Time I load a document, it says this document has a protected scale and won't let me measure anything. Anyone have any suggestions. Thanks
Hi, just wondering how I can edit markups/takeoffs that I made at my home office and view and change at my work office? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Dynamic Fill is an awesome tool, but from time to time I do try to use i on drawings where even though I have an outline shape that appears to be closed, the Paint Bucket tool still bleeds out even at the smallest brush and slowest fill settings. Does anyone have any suggestions or found a fix for this? Using it primarily…
Hello, Is it possible to have Bluebeam Studio automatically sync all studio files to a local server in lieu of Bluebeam's cloud servers? My office is exploring the idea of getting all of my project observers an iPad with cellular data so that they can have Bluebeam Studio (or rather Bluebeam Cloud) at all times. Should…
Our IT department has been slowly upgrading our users to Windows 11. A few of our users have been experiencing really bad lag with creating, moving, modifying markups. This happens both in Session and with locally saved files. It seems to only be happening to our users with virtual/cloud computers. Specifically, we use…
Hi, we mainly use Revu 21 to edit pdfs and save in PDF/A format. We need pdf documents in PDF/A-2b format. Is it possible to convert a pdf to pdf/A-2b format? please explain how to do it? thanks Oliver
