Versions:
BluebeamOCR 21 is a purpose-built optical-character-recognition add-on that integrates directly with Bluebeam Revu 21, enabling construction, engineering, and architecture teams to transform scanned drawings, specifications, and RFIs into fully searchable and markable PDFs without leaving the Revu environment. By automatically detecting text regions in raster images, the module generates selectable, highlightable, and copyable text layers that can be tagged with Revu’s existing markup tools, allowing estimators to quantify materials from legacy plans, project managers to hyperlink specifications to details, and quality-control reviewers to run text-based searches across entire drawing sets. The companion AutoMark feature further streamlines workflow by reading title-block data or page labels and batch-applying consistent page numbers, names, and hyperlinked bookmarks, turning disorganized scan collections into navigable document sets that mirror industry-standard sheet indices. Designed for the AEC vertical, the plug-in supports large-format architectural sheets, multi-page bid packages, and mixed-vector raster files while preserving the original image quality underneath the new text layer. Version 21.0.30, the only release track currently offered, maintains parity with the parent Revu 21 update cadence and installs silently alongside existing Revu deployments, requiring no additional licensing beyond an active Revu 21 license. The software is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources (e.g. winget), always delivering the latest version, and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
