About the Revu SharePoint extension

Bluebeam offers an extension for SharePoint that allows you to open PDFs in Revu directly from SharePoint. To use the app, your SharePoint administrator must upload the app package to your organization's SharePoint app catalog.

Client Requirements

To use the Revu SharePoint extension, you must have Revu 21 installed. The app is supported in all modern browsers (for example, Chrome, Firefox, and Edge). The extension supports SharePoint 2019 and SharePoint Online in Microsoft 365.

The Revu installer deploys a custom protocol handler in the client registry, which is responsible for forwarding the request from the browser to Revu. If this registry key becomes corrupted, uninstalling and reinstalling Revu will recreate the handler.

Install the SharePoint extension

This process requires elevated privileges on the SharePoint server and must be performed by your SharePoint administrator.

Download the app package files based on your version of SharePoint below:

For detailed installation instructions from Microsoft, select your version of SharePoint below:

To successfully deploy the extension for SharePoint Online, you also need to enable the public CDN on the tenant level. When using an on-premises SharePoint server, there is no need to enable the public CDN. For detailed instructions on how to enable the public CDN, see the SharePoint instructions from Microsoft.

Post-installation

After your SharePoint administrator installs the extension, selecting any PDF in the Documents list will display an Open in Revu button on the Command Bar. The same option will be available on the context menu when right-clicking a PDF. Once you’ve installed the extension, see How to use the Revu SharePoint extension.

If you right-click a file in SharePoint but don’t see the Open in Revu option, clear your browser’s cache and try opening the file again.

Since the app package is separate from Revu, you won't need to update SharePoint each time a new version of Revu is deployed unless a new functionality is added in the newer version of the extension.
