Button Functionality

Create PDF

The Create PDF button allows you to easily create a PDF file from your open, active document or drawing (AutoCAD, Word, etc.). After clicking the button, a Save As window appears, allowing you to name and save the file. You can turn off the prompt for file name and Bluebeam will automatically name the PDF file with the same file name as the original.

Change Settings

The Change Settings button allows you to adjust the settings used to create the PDF for a customized output. In AutoCAD, SolidWorks and Office you can select layouts/pages, page size and color, create PDF bookmarks and hyperlinks, apply security settings and more. In AutoCAD LT, the Change Settings button launches the Plot settings window to change scale, plot area, paper size, etc.

Bluebeam Batch

The Bluebeam Batch button appears in the toolbars of AutoCAD and SolidWorks when installing CAD Edition. Clicking this button begins the 3-step batch wizard and converts any number of DWG or SolidWorks files to PDF, TIFF, GIF and any of the 11 formats Bluebeam supports.

Share PDF

The Share PDF button allows you to convert an AutoCAD, SolidWorks or Office file to PDF and share it via email or FTP in one step. Options include saving email templates, email distribution lists and countless FTP connections.
