How are the new 2026 accessibility requirements impacting your PDF workflows?
Hi everyone, In light of the new ADA Title II regulations, many state and local governments — and the vendors who work with them — need their digital documents to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA by April 24, 2026 (or 2027 for smaller jurisdictions). This includes PDFs that end up on public websites or portals. I’m trying to…

Stamp that uses checkboxes
Hi, I work for a jurisdiction that allows trade permits to be included in the building permit. I am trying to create a stamp upon permit approval, that we could add to the plans and check which trades are included. After many attempts with help from AI, I have struck out every single time, I keep getting errors. The stamps…

Can't disable line weights on saving
We are Fire Risk Assessors so mainly we use BlueBeam (Revu 21.9) to colour in the centre of walls to signify the fire resistance we want. On one drawing the walls are thin black lines, not matter how much you zoom in via Bluebeam. But if you open the PDF file on various PDF reader the wall lines are now each about a third…

Arrow Head Style Editor
Consider adding an arrow head style editor similar to the line style editor and hatch editor. I would like to create custom arrow heads to differentiate between different framing types on markups for coordination.

Panning Across PDFs Control
Hello - I am suggesting a feature that would help when navigating across multiple monitors (or multiple pdfs i guess) when you have pdfs either split and dragged off of the main bluebeam "home base", or just pdfs opened separately and some what on top of each other. Currently on windows 11 and bluebeam version 21.9, this…

Callout Leader Settings - Allow Fixed Attachment Point Setting
Hi Bluebeam. I'm very happy that the program now allows leaders to be attached to more than one side of a callout. Now if the program would please stop automatically relocating my leader connection point every time I adjust a callout, that would be really great. It's very inefficient to have to reposition a leader line…

Add Detailed Date/Time Timestamps to Recent Files List
As a civil design professional, I rely heavily on my recent file history to assist with daily timecard entry. Most of my billable work requires a specific deliverable, and in my previous workflow with Adobe Acrobat, I could clearly see a granular list of work completed each day, organized by the exact date and time the…

Option to open documents as read-only
We've been having this issue, since forever, of someone opening a document to reference it for work they're doing but they're not the document owner (they didn't create it nor are they responsible for updating it), and it locks out the person updating/replacing the pdf preventing them from making changes or stamping it.…

Colored Document Tabs
It would be helpful if Revu would allow changing the color of the document tabs. I often work with several files open in engineering field, especially when reviewing markups. The tabs become so small that the document title would be hidden. I would like to do something like this: Set my initial marked-up documents in a red…

Live Snapshots
I am looking to add a feature that enables you to have a "viewport" similar to CAD from another separate file. I think this feature would enable people in the field to build PDFs that enable us to create a custom build file that has all the drawings stitched together and they will update as Project Managers/Engineers…

Spaces Replace Custom Column Value
I have a custom column set up that acts as a multiplier to take off multiple floors of a building at once. If I place the markups first, then apply the space, it sets the multiplier value to "0". The default value for the column is set to "1". Is there a way that I can keep the multiplier value the same? Thanks!
