This week, we're highlighting the Help button in the Revu menu! Have you ever explored how helpful the Help menu really is? Think of it as your in-app navigation tool that allows you to quickly access resources, without ever having to leave Revu: » Learn by accessing Bluebeam University »Refresh your memory » Find Tools +…
When clicking the Previous View button … … could it be set to select the previous view(s) on the current tab/document come up, rather than having it switch to the last tabs/documents viewed? EXAMPLE: When I am working between different tabs, like a plan drawing and a code reference, I wish the drawing tab's Previous Views…
There's currently an option to export bookmarks from a PDF file. But it would be helpful to have the ability to import bookmarks too. This would be helpful when reviewing an overlay of 2 or more files because the bookmarks are not saved in the newly created overlay file. It would create consistency when reviewing and…
I'm sure this has been brought up before, but this would be a great feature to have in Revu. When a tab is dragged outside of Revu, it should create a instance of Revu, with all the controls and options available. It should be independent of the original window. I should also be able to grab the tab from the new instance…
This week, we're highlighting how to add Actions to markups in Bluebeam Revu! PDF markups can be configured to perform certain actions when clicked, like jumping to a specific location in a document or opening another file when you add an Action. In addition, Tool Chest tools can be configured to create markups with…
I have a 3D Connexion space mouse that I have used for cad work, but I now spend most of my time going through 2D plans doing takeoffs. Instead of constantly scrolling to zoom in and zoom out, and dragging the pdf around with a mouse click, it would be very beneficial to be able to navigate the 2d pdf directly with the…
Is there a way to reduce the width of the page number field? It seems to be wasted space. As a result of this field being so wide, the "Next Page" icon gets buried when my Bluebeam window is in a reduced/condensed view. It's a hassle and quite slow to click a "down triangle" and then hover over to the next page button to…
Please add folders within sessions for document organization. This will make navigating to the documents within a session cleaner and easier as documents within a session can add up and be cumbersome to have to search through to find what the user is trying to open. This feature would be greatly appreciated by all. Thank…
I think adding a zoomed-in view in the corner of each page would be highly beneficial. This feature would maintain the same zoom level and position while allowing quick navigation between pages without the need to constantly pan and zoom. It would be especially helpful when working with multiple split views. Please refer…
Some suggestions for when filtering through the markup list: The "Contains" custom filter should not be case-sensitive. When using the "Contains" filter, the header should display the search terms instead of just showing "Custom." Allow searching within the list while retaining the active filters. (Right now, searching…

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…
Looking for a good way to migrate data stored in BlueBeam Cloud to Microsoft SharePoint site without losing any of the meta data along the way.
Hello all, New to Revu.. I've set the scale on the measurement tool, but when I measure a known size on the drawing, it is showing a smaller size. I've noticed that the page size of the plan is 8.5x11. It's the only difference I've seen from previous plans I've recently done without a problem. Can you advise what I need to…
Does anyone know how to print a markup summary to PDF in column form, but not have the (1) designation on any of the selected columns?
I am trying to figure out if there's a way to take a comment list and use the list to mark-up plans. We have a standard list in Word that has about 100 comments. I want to take the list and allow the use of one item at a time when marking up a plan. For example, one of the comments could say, "Provide rating where adjacent…
Hello everyone. To day I am posing a question that I hope someone can assist me with. In short what I want is to know if Bluebeam is capable of opening a File (any type at all) from a CAD program such as Microstation or AutoCad, and recognize a line as an actual line, instead of just as an image (PDF)? A bit of background:…
Now is a good time to "Revu" your progress on 2025 Bluebeam goals. Whether it be workflow review, tool improvements, or simply existing markup edits to align with the latest company standards we all could use a little reminder to look back and ahead in 2025! Feeling energized dialing back to the beginning of Q1 when I…
I have a client that would like to use the functions and features found in the Prime Portal. Namely reactivating a finished Session. Is this in the org. admin. portal? If so how is it accessed? Thank you Vinnie Stamato
can we please make sure to keep the add measurements , scaling and mark up tools to the iPad version of BlueBeam.
One part question one part idea for y'all today. My office uses studio session extensively to redline and coordinate with several different consultant teams at once. A PM will have to manage 2-7 Bluebeam sessions at once, one per project site. Our field reps will be in and out of 20-40 sessions per week. The firm standard…
