Hi There, I have been working on some standard tools and stamps for my firm and I seem to be running into the limits of both tools and stamps. What I want is a tool/stamp (either is fine the functionality is what we need) that has some dynamic fields and some editable text that a user can double click into to edit. What I…
I created a small script that allows a Form Button to change from a blank button to a filled circle or an open circle (each click cycles through the options). Works great, except that when I copy the button, the JavaScript action doesn’t come with. Does anyone know of a way to apply a script action to multiple buttons, or…
Hoping someone can help me, or at least tell me I'm not crazy. I'm creating a stamp that when applied to the target document, will include a list of names that were entered in a dialog box, and then overlay a digital signature field on top of each name. Everything works except that I can't get the size of the stamp to…
Hello - Looking to find an expert who understands scripting and what scripts work best with Bluebeam. Any suggestions?
I want to export Text inside bubble from P&ID PDF to excel format so that I can easily inlist all tags to save time.is there any specific way or by scripting in bluebeam revu software?
I have been trying to create a link between my Bluebeam markups and a corresponding Excel Document/Table. I was curious if there is a way or a JavaScript Code that would allow me to export my markups list and then Bluebeam will update that export when I save it after I have made changes to it. I have used power query in…
Follow up to this post. Now with a specific example/goal. I need to count/tally instances of all variations of a certain string (regex: W\d{2}X\d{2}). Requesting help with this from an LLM (per reply/suggestion to previous post) yields JS that appears valid but raises errors. // Bluebeam Revu eXtreme Script function…
good day brother & sister bluebeam users, our organization developed a stamp with a javascript prompt for a calculation. as of late, the stamp has been giving an incorrect calculation. any help/guidance would be greatly appreciated. many thanks! kilian.
BalancePages should have a function to allow you to insert your own PDF. InsertPages has this functionality, so it isn't too far out of the realm of possibilities. Use: Making sure documents are always even or odd by slip-sheeting individual PDFs prior to combining. Having the possibility of IF/THEN statement in Bluebeam…
This is my first post, so please forgive me if I misstep! I had a project for a client that was looking to streamline their submittal process. In the past, their method was to complete single lines for lighting control in AutoCAD and print to PDF for contractors to Bid / utilize for construction. Our idea was to further…
Hello all, I want to write a script that refreshes the headers/footers for some documentation. The code below is what I have so far and it formats the footer correctly. The problem is this script cannot delete the existing header to overwrite it, and so it cannot "refresh" the header, only apply it the first time.…
Is there a way to select specifically objects instead of creating Poly Shapes in Revu to delete page content? If there's not, Bluebeam should think about selecting lines in the same way you can Adobe to delete content. This would help me keep text in the middle of a line I may be trying to delete, or vice versa. Only way…
I understand we a re able to export sizes and locations of markups in blue beam but i cant seem to find a method to automaticly export a scaled polyline so that i can run calculations. Looking for ideas, thanks!

If I measure some items several times, and then an hour later find some more to measure, can I reuse the markups I used initially without adding to the Toolbox? I see there is a format painter but this just changes the markup appearance without changing the markup properties such as layer, description, etc. If I added…
I am open to purchasing a higher license, but first I want to see if this will work like I am hoping it will. My company adds user data in a spreadsheet (e.g. IP Addresses, SN, etc), and we would like that info to go directly into our as built drawings. The idea being that we would only have to update the information in…
In our new lighting projects, we are tasked with adding barcodes to each lighting fixture in a diagram. When printed, these barcodes can be scanned to control the lighting fixtures. It would be ideal to have an option to generate quick, generic barcodes instead of taking pictures, saving them, and then adding them as JPG…
I've just updated a drawing that was about 40mb originally with a custom count of the trees on the site - about 400 of them. This has increased the file size just ever so slightly to 3,376mb!!! Has anyone else come across such an issue?
We use several Custom Columns as part of our Markups List Summary that we export with every project that includes model numbers, model descriptions, spec sheet URLs, etc. Every time we open Revu, most or all of our Custom Columns are missing and we have to re-import an XML file to add our Custom Columns back. We have tried…
I seem to have quite a few tools that are not accessible. How do i activate them?
Ok, so I've been out of the loop for a little while now, but I'm trying to brainstorm a way to improve my workflow. I vaguely remember there being some sort of feature where you can edit the Comment field of a text box to something like {{Subject}} and then that text box will display its Subject automatically. I can't, for…
Am I missing something? I was previously using revu ipad in the field for viewing drawings and scaling plans. I have recently updated to a bluebeam subscription and downloaded the new app on the ipad, I have not been able to figure out how to scale on the ipad. I have been able to do this on the web app on my computer but…
Some of the people in my team are using the 2020 and I'm using the current one. it seems that they don't see my markups. only the users with the current can see it. can someone explain to solve this issue? Thanks!
This question might suited for @Shawn Dawson regarding search button on the cloud session. Will we see this function in the future? we deal with 100s of pages and it helps having a search. thanks!
