We usually receive markup summaries from contractors, so when I was asked to generate one, I wasn't sure what settings were most user-friendly. Do you prefer flow or table? Small, medium, large thumbnails? 25%, 35%, 50% padding? etc.
Is there a way to select all items on all pages after mark-up? I need to have all items appear, from all sheets in a single legend. Common mark-ups will all tally together, but if there is a stray item on a single page, it gets left behind.
Currently, when Exporting Excel Markup Summary, Replies come in on a different line (see below image in red, first table). This makes tracking and sorting these markups quite cumbersome. Would love there to be an option to have replies come in on a different column. (see below, second table). Replies to replies would…
Provide ability to filter, sort and search comment replies using the existing search bar and filter list functions in the markups tab. This would be especially useful in Sessions as the comments by other users are locked and not editable. Being able to filter and sort comment replies would give reviewers the ability to tag…
Hi BB, Please make above window adjustable in size. I use fairly lengthy descriptions from our Winest estimating database (which has a max text length of 127 characters). Every now and again, I clear out the auto-complete list to remove any unwanted/incorrect entries however this is extremely time consuming as I have to…
So after using Bluebeam on and off at several Architecture and Engineering firms I keep coming back to major adoption issues with Revu and Studio for internal redlines. Many firms are stuck in the pen and paper mentality of use a highlighter color to "cross out" markups as they are addressed in the redline/QAQC stage. They…
Hi there, we have recently subscribed to Bluebeam and we cannot seem to use Markup mode or add anything to a Markup list when doing measurements and takeoffs. I thought it was due to the PDF being protected in some way and have tried all tips I have come across to unprotect it but cannot. Is there any way to work around…
I know this issue has been talked about in the past but has there been any progress in linking responses made in the markup window to the PDF drawing, such that responses show up adjacent to the original comment. Presently, responses made in the markup window, stay in the markup window and if the response is made on the…
In the Markups list, whether applying a filter or not, the length of a line does not show up. I would like to export to excel all the lines with length property, but in the markups list the length is not shown. Are the two "length" properties the same? Is this a bug? Thanks
I have been trying to create a link between my Bluebeam markups and a corresponding Excel Document/Table. I was curious if there is a way or a JavaScript Code that would allow me to export my markups list and then Bluebeam will update that export when I save it after I have made changes to it. I have used power query in…

Resolved: Delete existing version and install old version. Question is in the title. I use the tool chest for my job, I make/edit/modify maybe 50-100 markups a day and whatever was done to the tool chest has ruined its functionality. A few examples: Double click to edit name is now extremely inconsistent. The markups are…
Has anyone experienced this issue after updating to version 21.6? It doesn’t happen every time, but occasionally I get a popup that prevents Bluebeam from opening. When this occurs, I’m unable to launch the application at all. Just wondering if anyone else has run into this and found a solution.
There should be a way to add layers in a pdf on blue beam studio to have to set them all up sheet by sheet then upload them is very time consuming each time a new sheet is added or if someone else adds sheet
I have recently been upgraded to Revu 21 and I remember my tools having custom properties applied for certain tools. Like attaching cost codes to specific tool chest items. I am not seeing the custom fields in the properties window now. Where did it move to?
I've run an overlay on an 88-page project with lots of changes. When trying to print a physical copy, it gets hung up. Even printing in batches is slow because several pages lead to virtual freezing. Are there any tips on how to improve/speed up the printing process? I've flattened and reduced file size, but that has had…
Since it looks like there is no way to unflatten a form field I am wondering if there is a way to lock one. So far I am not able to get it to work. Thanks
I have the Revu Complete plan. Revu is largest user of memory on my system. Right now I have 4 plans open and my memory usage is at 2,486.6 MB I seem to hover around 2,000 MB. Could there be a setting I need to change which will reduce this usage? I have some lagging in other programs. I had attemped to use Studio once to…
Hello y'all ! Is there someon who know how to export coordinate of each control point? (Polyline, not polylength measurement) Thank you ! :-D
I frequently copy excerpts from a PDF using the 'Snapshot' tool ('G' keyboard shortcut) and paste them into emails and chat (MS Outlook & Teams). I love that it can retain vector data and have customized resolution. However, I ran into an issue trying to copy the full page. Even with a basic, unlocked, 8.5x11 page with…
Is there some reason why OCR works on some text in a drawing file and not other text? It looks to be the same font as other text on the drawing that OCR was successful in making searchable. Sorry I am unable to include a snip due to IP. Can anyone share their OCR settings? I've been using Bluebeam for years and still have…
