Overlaying Markup Across Pages
Hi, I was wondering if it is possible to overlay markup across pages in a way that when a change is made on one page, all the other pages update. This would be exceptionally useful when planning routes of pipes etc between floors. (Bluebeam Revu) Any help would be much appreciated!

A 'READ ALOUD' Transcription Feature
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.

Batch-link to places
I would like to batch-link to places (snapshot-view) and/or named spaces. This would be very helpful in the review-process in sessions.

Make a list view of sheet names available.
Hi Community, I have a large page count PDF overlay project comparing two drawing sets. The sets have jumbled the pages between them and I have to align pages to do the overlay.

Tools that support Georeferenced PDFs
Georeferenced PDFs are not a new thing, but it was surprising to me that these files do not have supporting tools in Bluebeam. The company I work for has been evaluating the benefits of switching our standard PDF editor/viewer from Adobe to Bluebeam, and this functional gap was a downside brought up by one of my peers. A…
