Now open an existing PDF or make a new one in Revu. This is what it looks like in the Bluebeam Script Editor: You also have blending options (the way that Revu blends the Stamp graphics and the PDF graphics below it) and the very last option determines whether the Stamp is automatically locked. The script calls up the Command “Stamp”, then the name of the Stamp (which is case sensitive) and then the placement options. Before I do that though, I’ll make a simple Stamp and save it into the default Revu Stamp folder on my local hard drive (although we can set a custom location for these sorts of things in Revu and point it towards a network location if we want).
In our first example below, we’ll add a Stamp into a PDF at a preset place. You enter each value for the options or hit the Tab key to get the program to fill in the current option with the default. You can then come back and enter in the specific options if you don’t want the default option.Īnother trick is that if you hover over a Script that you’ll already made, the program shows you a tooltip with all the options explained again to remind you of what they mean: Once you’ve selected the command, the software gives you a preview of the Script command options. It goes beyond this simple functionality as it also allows you to run and test Scripts to make sure they are working as required.Ī really nice feature is that you can start to type into the text window and then the program offers up commands based on your text. The application is ostensibly a text editor that allows you to type in, copy and paste text. The interface in this program is pretty simple. Go to the Windows Start Menu > Bluebeam Software > Bluebeam Script Editor XX (where XX is version of Revu). The Bluebeam Script Editor: Making things a lot easier:Įach version of Bluebeam Revu ships with a very powerful application that makes creating Scripts a lot easier. The quickest way to get up to speed with the Scripting commands in Revu is to have a look at this document: Bluebeam-Script-Reference But before you sink your teeth into that, let’s have an overview of the process of making Scripts and look at some examples. This means that scripting actions can generally be applied to PDF documents that are sourced from other compliant software and vice versa.
Once you’ve learnt the general commands and the correct syntax (the way to write out the script commands) you’re ready to go.īluebeam Revu Extreme supports Scripting in line with other PDF creation software (as defined in ISO 32000). Whilst Scripting is nowhere near as powerful as programming, the advantages is that it doesn’t require learning programming languages and their associated complexities. Scripting is a powerful tool that offers the ability to automate what might be otherwise time consuming and repetitive tasks.
