Bluebeam Tip: Export PDFs to Word or Excel in Bluebeam Revu for Enhanced Editing and Data Manipulation

Did you know that Bluebeam Revu allows you to export your PDFs directly into Word or Excel formats? This feature is incredibly useful when you need to repurpose content or perform extensive edits beyond markup capabilities.

Here's how you can easily export your PDFs to Word or Excel using Bluebeam Revu:

  1. Open the PDF document you wish to export in Bluebeam Revu.
  2. Navigate to the "File" menu.
  3. Select "Export" from the dropdown options.
  4. Choose "Word Document" or "Excel Workbook" based on your requirements.
  5. In the export dialog box, specify the pages you wish to export (all pages or a range).
  6. Click "OK" and choose the destination folder to save your new Word or Excel file.

Some tips to enhance your export experience:

  • Optical Character Recognition (OCR): If your PDF is scanned, use the OCR feature in Bluebeam to make text selectable before exporting.
  • Formatting: Review the exported document in Word or Excel to adjust formatting as needed.
  • Batch Export: For multiple PDFs, consider using the Batch Export feature to save time.

By exporting to Word or Excel, you can leverage the advanced editing and data manipulation features of these applications. This is particularly helpful for creating reports, extracting data, or restructuring document content.
