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…
I know this might seem like a slightly Niche idea, however, when marking up a drawing using the perimeter tool - converting lines to arcs is slightly time consuming in my opinion. An alternative method of drawing curves would be to create multiple control points forming the curve - once again quite time consuming. My Idea…

I'm having trouble getting batch link to work on my plan sets because it won't recognize a lot of the text. I've run OCR and this hasn't helped at all. Any tricks to get this to run properly?
Is there a way to set a customized Tool Chest/Tool Box as the "My Tools" default, so that the symbols/markups you have in your custom set can have the number shortcuts? I have created my own "My Tools" with customized formatted markups. However, I was hoping to share them with others in the office so they don't have to…
Hi all, I am looking into automating PDF overlays to compare architectural changes. Since there are more than 100 drawings, I am trying to create a hook that triggers when files are updated in the folder, automatically overlaying the PDFs and saving the output to a specified destination.
Is there a way to adjust the way a Markup/Callout can be input into a document when it comes from the Tool Chest? "My Tools" are setup with pre-formatted callouts for certain types of Quality Reviews of Construction documents. The formatting is office-wide. I created the shortcuts so i can have a "Hot Key" associated to…

When you search for a detail, put a space between the detail and the page number.I'm looking for 3/S-502, and if you enter this, you get nothing. You type in S-502, and you get the list of all. Next time enter a space between. It will only show that detail. I have not found a way. If they have 13/S-502, it will find the…
Hi Bluebeam Community, I wanted to share an issue we’re having in my team related to PDF printing from Excel when using Bluebeam Print to PDF alongside Microsoft Print to PDF. Here’s what happens: We have Bluebeam Print to PDF set as the default printer, and the scaling is set to 100%. We adjust the print areas in Excel…

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
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…
