Install the SharePoint integration app

Applies to:

  • Revu 21
  • Revu 20.1 and above

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

Client Requirements

To use the SharePoint integration, you must install or update to Revu 20.1 or above. The integration is supported in all modern browsers (for example, Chrome, Firefox, and Edge).

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 Bluebeam Revu will recreate the handler.

Install the SharePoint integration app

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

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

To successfully deploy the integration for SharePoint Online, it is recommended that you 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. For information on the purpose and benefits of enabling a public CDN, see the Microsoft Learn article on using CDN with SharePoint online.

Post-installation

After your SharePoint administrator installs the integration, selecting any PDF in the Documents list will display an Open in Revu button on the Command Bar. The same option will be available in the context menu when right-clicking a PDF.

If you right-click a SharePoint file and 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 integration.
