Bluebeam Tip: Efficiently Generate and Share Project Reports Using Bluebeam Revu's Markup and Annotation Features

When you need a fast way to present essential project data, Bluebeam Revu’s reporting features come in handy. By generating comprehensive summaries of markups, annotations, and statuses, you can save valuable time and ensure stakeholders remain informed. Follow these tips to create and export clear, concise reports:

• Access the Markups List: First, open any PDF featuring markups, then expand the Markups List panel at the bottom. This central hub is where you can filter, sort, and manage all your annotations.
• Filter by Categories: Use the Filter List option to quickly isolate relevant markups based on status, subject, or custom columns. This ensures your report captures only the data you need.
• Customize Columns: Tailor columns in the Markups List so only the most relevant data is shown. Right-click a column header to add or remove fields, or rearrange their order for clarity.
• Generate a Summary: With your markups refined, click the Summary icon. Select the desired output—PDF, CSV, XML, or XLSX—and specify advanced settings like page regions or location data.
• Refine Output Settings: Adjust how you want each markup to appear in the final report. You can embed thumbnails, apply color coding for each status, and even include hyperlinks back to their exact location on the drawing.
• Export and Share: Once your customized summary is ready, save and distribute it among team members. This streamlined approach makes it easy to keep all parties current on project updates without extra steps.
