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…
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…
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!

It would be nice to have a tool that would (assuming both the X and Y axises are the same scale) calculate scale from a known area on the set of plans. I have had two sets of schematic drawings come across my desk in the last month alone, that did not have the correct scale and did not have any labeled linear dimensions,…
Hey guys, my name is sam, fairly new user. I was sent a set of pdf's that are scale protected, so blue beam will not work is there a way to unlock these at my end or do I need to reach out to the engineers to unlock? thanks
This might be a really obvious one but I can't seem to figure out the best way to do this: I frequently mark up drawing sets for estimates wherein there are multiple pass-through trades under my scope. What I want to do is to be able to do takeoffs for multiple trades, giving them each their own layer that represents them,…
Hi, I am allowed to join the Bluebeam max beta and I am about to and I am willinig to do so. So we were told to just download an install Bluebeam Revu 21.8. I am confused, how to tell I have the beta version? in other words, if I do not have the beta version, how to download it? maybe I missed the point completely. What is…
It seems sometime in Dec 2025 the invites sent out from the BB Session no longer has the name of the document in the session invite. We use to see "You've been invited to Studio Session (name of session)" all we now see is "You've been invited to Studio Session" the name is no longer shown. Is this a preference? or has…
If I put text on a page (text box or typewriter) and then use the Edit Action command to make a jump to another page, it will put a lightning bolt under the bottom right corner of the text box. Is there a way to make the lightning bolt to the right of the text? I have issues when I have the text in a list format the…
I use it a lot and would like to have it open at all times for quicker access. Even a keyboard shortcut would be nice, if there is one, please let me know. Thanks in advance, -Wes s
Not sure if this is a bug. We are Fire Risk Assessors so are often need to either colour in a wall or change the colour of a door on floor plans. We also have to draw lines to show the length of a certain route. Here's what I've noticed: 1 = The fill colour choices for a Polygon are not the same as the Change Colour…
Cloud and Cloud+ color fills only are changing from 10% to solid. First noticed in a Studio session. When selected, the solid fill reads as 10% in toolbar and properties panel. If bumped up or down, it resets to 10%. The solid fills return after closing, leaving, logging out for all users. Comments exported and imported…
Hi I’m new to Bluebeam so quite raw, I’ve inherited somebody else’s toolbox, and I’m not allowed to change the items within the toolbox (company policy), so my reason for writing is within my toolbox there are lots of rectangles which I can’t rotate to line up with diagonal lines on my drawing templates i.e. school…
