I would like to request an option to select which windows or split views to synchronize. Currently, when you have multiple split views and detached pages, all of them synchronize together. In some cases, you may want to view only a couple of windows synchronously while keeping one window or view as a full page.
Ability to keep adding too or remove from a selection when using Click+Drag & Lasso selecting commands. The shortcuts show a Multi-Select option using Shift+Left-Click+Drag which only allows you to use it while using other commands which the Right-Click+Drag command already does. I believe the Shift+Click+Drag should be…
Does anyone know hw to turn off this feature (brown help box) that lets you know the highlight is in use. toggling between different documents or screens, it moves every time you move documents. It is very distracting and moves your page.
Is there a way to disable the "(1 of XX)" part of the navigation bar? I manage pdf's that have page labels formatted "PID-xxx". The actual count of a page in the pdf, meaning the "(4 of 11)" part below, is irrelevant to our document structure. When navigating to a page, I use only the page label to get to it ("PID-869" in…
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…

Resolved: Delete existing version and install old version. Question is in the title. I use the tool chest for my job, I make/edit/modify maybe 50-100 markups a day and whatever was done to the tool chest has ruined its functionality. A few examples: Double click to edit name is now extremely inconsistent. The markups are…
Has anyone experienced this issue after updating to version 21.6? It doesn’t happen every time, but occasionally I get a popup that prevents Bluebeam from opening. When this occurs, I’m unable to launch the application at all. Just wondering if anyone else has run into this and found a solution.
There should be a way to add layers in a pdf on blue beam studio to have to set them all up sheet by sheet then upload them is very time consuming each time a new sheet is added or if someone else adds sheet
I have recently been upgraded to Revu 21 and I remember my tools having custom properties applied for certain tools. Like attaching cost codes to specific tool chest items. I am not seeing the custom fields in the properties window now. Where did it move to?
I've run an overlay on an 88-page project with lots of changes. When trying to print a physical copy, it gets hung up. Even printing in batches is slow because several pages lead to virtual freezing. Are there any tips on how to improve/speed up the printing process? I've flattened and reduced file size, but that has had…
Since it looks like there is no way to unflatten a form field I am wondering if there is a way to lock one. So far I am not able to get it to work. Thanks
I have the Revu Complete plan. Revu is largest user of memory on my system. Right now I have 4 plans open and my memory usage is at 2,486.6 MB I seem to hover around 2,000 MB. Could there be a setting I need to change which will reduce this usage? I have some lagging in other programs. I had attemped to use Studio once to…
Hello y'all ! Is there someon who know how to export coordinate of each control point? (Polyline, not polylength measurement) Thank you ! :-D
I frequently copy excerpts from a PDF using the 'Snapshot' tool ('G' keyboard shortcut) and paste them into emails and chat (MS Outlook & Teams). I love that it can retain vector data and have customized resolution. However, I ran into an issue trying to copy the full page. Even with a basic, unlocked, 8.5x11 page with…
Is there some reason why OCR works on some text in a drawing file and not other text? It looks to be the same font as other text on the drawing that OCR was successful in making searchable. Sorry I am unable to include a snip due to IP. Can anyone share their OCR settings? I've been using Bluebeam for years and still have…
