I'm wondering if anyone has ever discovered a workaround for Revu requiring admin rights to install updates. This has become unwieldy and inconvenient for our users. I was thinking of experimenting with giving users full control on some program folders or assets but I thought I would reach out so I'm not reinventing the…
Hello, Does Bluebeam have any intentions of pursuing a Fedramp government offering? Does Bluebeam have solid documentation on how to disable cloud functionality? This article referenced these support threads: How to disable access to Bluebeam services | Bluebeam Technical Support We've got a customer who wants to use…
Looking for a feature that would allow for settings to be set by IT on install and retrospectively on already installed versions. For the settings set by IT they would also not be changeable by end users. This has stemmed from a requirement to ensure that Revu settings can be configured similar to those for Adobe…
Did you know that double-clicking a Bluebeam Revu Profile (.bpx file) automatically opens Revu and imports the profile for you? This is the quickest and easiest way to have a User import a Profile. It is a very low impact for our non-technical friends and co-workers. 😅 It is much better than explaining how to click the…
I cannot remember when it started, but I am experiencing that when I start Revu Bluebeam from the task bar, it is not recognised as running. If I then open many windows and click the Revu icon in the task bar, to go to Revu, it instead opens a new Revu window instead of going to the original one. The problem has persisted…
I open and review a lot of legal contracts using Bluebeam. It would be nice to have an option to have an audio playback feature, like on Word, that identifies and reads the text for those that are visually impaired.
Hello, We have 180+ Bluebeam Revu licenses and would like to utilize Single Sign On to manage the user list. Not only will this help our users easily sign into Revu, it will also increase security as our users won't need to create a remember yet another username/password combination. Our issue here is: We are unable to use…
The Department of Transportation is moving toward using OKTA SSO MFA authentication to allow users to access Bluebeam Revu, however Revu's in-app browser lacks functionality to detect certificates off of physical cards. Activclient by HID global is used in our environment to read and catalogue certificates from physical…
Hi I've been having a back and fourth with technical support and come to the conclusion that there is currently no built in feature to clear the browser cache, when Bluebeam is used as a web browser. In my case I have a website that has been changed, but it never changes unless reinstalling the whole software. This is very…
It would be ideal if we could audit license count via API access. This would eliminate the need for the IT department to log into the portal to confirm available licenses. Using SCIM, there is not currently any other reason for our technicians to log into the admin portal as users are added/removed/licensed via Azure group.

Hi, is there a way to add an oval shape callout in Bluebeam? In my industry, we often use oval callouts to identify equipment, but currently, only rectangle, circle, triangle, and hexagon options are available. It would be great to have an oval shape option or the ability to adjust the circle dimensions to create an oval.…

In particular, we’d like the report to include the ability to: Tag specific rooms or locations Attach a photo of each deficiency Provide a description of the deficiency…
Is there a way to apply multiple digital signatures to a document without having to Save after each signature?
After my last update… When I add a Dimension to a pdf the extension lines are way to long. Sometimes putting them off the edge of the page. I have: set and checked scale checked dim line and text size any ideas….
This is a simple question. When I've 'Checked Out' a document in my BB Studio Project and added mark-ups, does it automatically Save when I 'Check In'? Or should I click save first, and then Check In?
Occasionally, during a session a user will not see the status options needed to set the state. The occurrence is not tied to a specific user or session. This issue has persisted for years, and I am still searching for a solution - aside from additional markings or highlights in the session markups. Anyone else experiencing…
I was hoping to find a way to filter sessions by "My Status", so I can quickly see those I have marked as "reviewing" or "finished", but I do not see that as an option in any of the dropdowns that are visible to me. Does anyone know if this is possible? Thanks in advance!
Greetings, I have a question that I can't seem to find the answer. Hopefully I can get some help here. Is it possible to overlay and also compare two PDFs? When we only compare the files, we only see the cloud and sometimes it's not easy to tell what is the difference. If I can also overlay those PDFs, I can see the color…
What is the best way to track project issues? I have issues that are emailed to me by my contractor customers and need some way to flag it and remember to follow up on it. I am having too many emails fall through the cracks and are not resolved in a timely manner.
Hey everyone, first time post! So I'm a spec writer and am trying to convert pdfs into Word docs. Which is easy…except when Bluebeam creates the Word doc, all of the paragraph levels are assigned to the same Word styles. As an example, in the attached image all of the paragraphs are the same "List Paragraph" style in Word.…
