Hi, I was wondering if it is possible to overlay markup across pages in a way that when a change is made on one page, all the other pages update. This would be exceptionally useful when planning routes of pipes etc between floors. (Bluebeam Revu) Any help would be much appreciated!
I have a set of plans that I want to run an overlay on. It's 30 pages and most of them are not consistent in how they were updated and the only accurate way to do it is to go into each page and individually do an overlay for a single page at a time between the two PDFs being overlaid. I feel like we would benefit from the…
Just realized this might be better on this forum, sorry for posting this from another area if that's an issue. I have a set of plans that I want to run an overlay on. It's 30 pages and most of them are not consistent in how they were updated and the only accurate way to do it is to go into each page and individually do an…
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…
Keyboard Shortcut Key Request: Add ability for the user to select a single layer to be assigned to a keyboard shortcut key for toggling on and off that layer. Example: Layers: Main document Overlay document #1 Overlay document #2 Right click overlay document #1 layer > assign to layer shortcut key > toggle on/off assigned…
Is there a shortcut to colorize snapshots? I use the snapshot tool quite a bit to take a snip of something and then overlay on another drawing. After pasting that snapshot, I will typically right-click and chose "Change Color" and select colorize and have it changed to red so I can distinguish from the snapshot and the…
When I bring in a screenshot, it is not to scale, and I need to rotate it and resize to try match the pdf content. For example, sometimes I want to take an aerial screenshot and overlay it over my pdf plans. To make sure it aligns I need to scale it correctly, and rotate it correctly. It would be very handy if I could…
Please have the default settings for overlay feature actually work and apply to the pdfs I am trying to compare. otherwise, what's the purpose of the default settings?
When I try to overlay two documents, I have my default settings set to "all pages", however, I have to manually change each document in the overlay list to all pages. Why is this function not working? It used to work in older versions (2015).
This week we’re highlighting the Overlay Pages feature. This tool allows you to compare two or more documents by overlaying them, highlighting differences and changes with different colors. It's perfect for identifying revisions between versions of drawings. Overlaying documents can help you catch changes that might be…

Can someone please tell me why I suddenly can't access my tools or properties of tools in Bluebeam? I am trying to add my signature as I do every day but today all of a sudden, my saved tool set doesn't work. I can import a new signature .png to Bluebeam but it won't let me access the properties of the tool to change the…
Whats the best way for two people to work on a drawing (not both at the same time). We have one person doing most of the drawing, but then sometimes our assessors need to go in and change something. At the moment this means downloading the PDF from Google Drive, opening up locally on bluebeam, editing, saving locally, then…
Could you please let me know if there is a way to split the window first and then open a spreadsheet or a Word file in one of those windows parallel to the pdf file?
Imagine placing a door symbol and Revu automatically attaching a mini BOQ for leaf, frame, hardware and labor, all rolling up into one smart cost object that updates as you copy or move it.
Im trying to adjust my polyline sketch to scale mark ups that I use for estimating and the only way I can get it to work is by dragging the control points. Is there a way to click the markup and edit the length via input. EX) Clicked line is 8'-10 1/2" I want to round to 9'-0" so I have to hold shift and drag the control…
Can Bluebeam convert a .pptx file to a PDF, and if so, how?
i cannot see my properties panel. it only shows up if i change profiles. i cannot use shortcut key Alt-P to make it visible
Following on from a discussion that I was having with someone the other day, how many of you use a custom profile? And, more importantly from my point of view, how many of you use multiple profiles? I have many profiles - different trades, several for measuring groundworks (civil engineering) alone, etc.. I thought many…

When I am trying to search for keywords on a plan/document, it displays 0 results found. This is the first time I've had this problem. Does anyone know why that would be?
