Bluebeam Tip: Enhancing Workflow Efficiency with Custom Stamps in Bluebeam Revu

In Bluebeam Revu, custom stamps are a powerful tool that can significantly enhance your workflow efficiency by allowing you to apply standardized, repetitive annotations quickly and consistently. Custom stamps function like digital rubber stamps, which you can tailor to include specific text, images, logos, and dynamic fields like dates, times, and user information.

By creating and using custom stamps, you can streamline processes such as document approvals, inspections, and project communications. Here's how to make the most out of custom stamps in Bluebeam Revu:

1. Create a Custom Stamp:
   • Navigate to File > Create > PDF from Template > Stamps to access stamp templates.
   • Select a template that suits your needs or start from a blank page for full customization.
   • Use the editing tools to add text boxes, images, company logos, and shapes to design your stamp.
   • Incorporate dynamic fields by going to Edit > PDF Content > Insert and choosing options like Date, Time, or Author to automatically populate information when the stamp is used.
   • Save your stamp by selecting File > Save As and placing it in the Stamps folder for easy access.
2. Apply the Custom Stamp:
   • Open the PDF where you want to apply the stamp.
   • Select the Stamp Tool from the Markup toolbar or press S on your keyboard.
   • Choose your custom stamp from the dropdown menu.
   • Click on the desired location in the document to place the stamp. Adjust the size and position as needed.
3. Manage and Share Stamps:
   • Organize your stamps by categorizing them into folders within the Stamps directory.
   • Share stamps with team members by exporting the stamp files and instructing colleagues to place them in their Stamps folder.
   • Ensure uniformity in document annotations and approvals across your team.
4. Enhance Workflows with Dynamic Content:
   • Use JavaScript in stamps to create interactive elements like checkboxes or auto-incrementing fields.
   • Create dynamic stamps that adapt based on user input or document properties to automate repetitive tasks.

Leveraging custom stamps in Bluebeam Revu saves time and enhances accuracy across all your project documents. They're particularly beneficial for frequent standard annotations, such as approval signatures, review statuses, or compliance checks.
