Bluebeam Tip: Efficiently Manage PDFs with Bluebeam Revu's Split & Merge Tool

Splitting and merging PDFs can dramatically streamline your review process, especially when handling large or multifaceted documents. Bluebeam Revu’s built-in Split & Merge feature offers an efficient way to manage all pages in a single interface. Whether you need to extract specific pages for distribution or combine multiple plan sets into a new PDF, this tool saves time and reduces manual effort.

To split a PDF, open the file and select your split criteria (page range, top-level bookmarks, or even page labels). Once you confirm, Revu automatically disassembles the document into neatly segmented files. This is especially useful when you want to focus on relevant sections without navigating hundreds of pages.

Merging works in reverse. Import multiple PDFs into the merge tool, arrange them in the desired sequence, and let Revu compile them. Feel free to rename the merged file to maintain a clear record of your document’s evolution.

Tips to consider:

  • Always rename or clearly label split files for easy identification.
  • Keep your original PDF intact. Execute the split on copies to avoid losing crucial data.
  • Combine discipline-specific plan sets into a single PDF for consolidated reviews.

From orchestrating complex drawing sets to distributing redlined excerpts, Split & Merge can handle diverse scenarios. After merging, consider leveraging Bluebeam Revu’s Markups List to add consistent annotations for all combined pages.
