Bluebeam Tip: Effectively Securing PDF Annotations with Bluebeam Revu's Flatten Markups Tool

When finalizing your PDFs in Bluebeam Revu, using the Flatten Markups tool ensures all your annotations become a permanent part of the document. This process prevents accidental edits and secures your markups for distribution.

To effectively use the Flatten Markups tool:

• Open your PDF in Bluebeam Revu.
• Complete all necessary markups and annotations.
• Navigate to the Document menu.
• Select Flatten (or use the shortcut Ctrl+Shift+M).
• In the dialog box, choose specific pages or markups to flatten if needed.
• Click OK to finalize the flattening process.

Benefits of Flattening Markups:

• Security: Prevents others from modifying your annotations.
• Compatibility: Ensures markups are visible in any PDF viewer.
• File Size Reduction: Can decrease file size by embedding annotations.

Tip: Before flattening, save a copy of the original file in case you need to make further edits later.
