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…

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.…
