In Bluebeam Revu, Stamps allow you to place “rubber stamp” comments on a PDF. Revu comes preloaded with a library of commonly used text stamps, such as DRAFT and FOR REVIEW. Like traditional stamps, you can use these to convey important document information. If you need a specific type of stamp, you can also create your own. Custom Revu stamps save to the program’s stamp library – letting you reuse them at any time. For more information about creating custom stamps, please refer to this blog post.

If you created a custom stamp, but no longer need to use it, you can delete it from the Stamp library. However, it can be a little difficult to find this option in Bluebeam Revu. To help better manage your custom data, let’s take a look at how to delete stamps in Bluebeam Revu. The following examples are from Bluebeam Revu 20 eXtreme. However, these tools are available in all versions of Revu.

There are two ways to delete a stamp in Revu. You can either delete the stamp file from your computer, or you can delete it directly within the program.

Delete Stamps from Your Computer’s Local Drive

Revu Stamps save as individual PDF files to a folder within your local or network drive. To find the location of your saved stamps folder, select Tools > Stamps > Change Stamp Folder.

From the Select Folder window, you can select a new folder to save your stamps to if desired. Using this window, you can also save the current stamp folder address to your clipboard. To do this, select the address dropdown, right click, and select Copy.

Once copied, you can paste this address into any File Explorer window to access the Stamp folder. The Stamp folder will list all stamps currently available within the stamp library. To delete a stamp, right click on it and select Delete. Any stamps deleted from the Stamp folder will be removed from Bluebeam Revu as well.

Delete Stamps from Bluebeam Revu

You can also delete stamps directly from within the program. To delete a stamp in Revu, first place the stamp on a PDF. Once on the page, open the Properties Panel with the stamp selected.

In the Stamp Selection section, you’ll see all available stamps listed. Select the stamp that you wish to delete and press Delete. The selected stamp will be permanently deleted from the Stamps library.

Summary

Bluebeam Revu Stamps are very useful for conveying information on PDFs. With just a click of the mouse, you can mark a document as a DRAFT, FOR REVIEW, or APPROVED. Along with the preset default stamps, you can create custom stamps in Revu. As you continue to build your stamp library, you may run into stamps that are no longer needed. You can delete Revu stamps two ways: either from your computer’s files, or from the program itself. Once deleted, the stamp will permanently disappear from the Stamp menu. Now, you can keep your Stamp library organized with only the stamps you currently need.
