Bluebeam integrations for engineering
Job-Based API Integration
Build automated workflows that extract markups, PDFs, and metadata directly from Bluebeam Studio Projects or Sessions.
Studio Session Support
Preserve folder structures and markup history across Studio workflows — with full automation.
Markup Extraction & Structuring
Convert Bluebeam annotations into structured deliverables — from Excel line lists to JSON and DEXPI formats.
Overlay + PDF Export
Generate enriched PDFs with embedded data, revision deltas, and validation markups — ready for QA and handover.

Bluebeam is more than a PDF viewer — and when combined with the right tools, it becomes a gateway to engineering intelligence. Read More
Featured Case Study
A mid-sized EPC used our Bluebeam integration to extract instrumentation and piping data directly from PDF markups — reducing annotation time by 80% without changing their workflow. Read More
FAQs
Common questions about our Bluebeam integration services.
Do we need to install anything inside Bluebeam?
No. We use Bluebeam’s Job-Based API and Studio Projects, so most integrations run outside Bluebeam without requiring plugins or add-ons.
Can you extract markups and export Excel or DEXPI data?
Yes. We extract markup annotations, tag text, and line data, and export to structured formats like Excel, JSON, DEXPI, or your internal schema.
Can you automate workflows inside Studio Projects or Sessions?
Yes. We support Studio-based file structures and can batch process drawings from live Studio folders with full audit traceability.
Can you overlay annotations or data back onto the PDF?
Yes. We generate enriched PDFs with validation overlays, tag metadata, or revision comparisons — suitable for QA or handover.
What does it cost to build a Bluebeam integration?
Pricing depends on scope, but most integrations start from $2,500–$5,000 for a complete job-based API setup. Complex workflows (markup parsing, round-trips, validation overlays) may go higher.
Can you integrate with our internal app or platform?
Yes. We build integrations that forward data to your internal systems, cloud platforms, or engineering tools like COMOS, SmartPlant, or custom apps.
