Find Ways to Recover Unsaved Changes in Bluebeam

A crash or unexpected closure of Bluebeam PDF file editing software may result in lost unsaved changes. This article provides several ways to restore unsaved Bluebeam files.

Method 1: Use Revu's automatic recovery function

Bluebeam has a built-in recovery system that attempts to restore unsaved files when the software crashes. If this feature is enabled, follow these steps:

1. After the software crashes, reopen Bluebeam. If unsaved changes are detected, the Recover Unsaved Changes window will pop up.

2. Select the target file and click OK to recover immediately. You can also select "Later" to skip this recovery. The next time you open the software, this recovery window will appear again. Note: If you select "Later" and make and save any changes on an unsaved file, the lost changes will not be restored.

Method 2: Recover unsaved files from temporary files

If the document recovery feature is not enabled, you can try this method. Please note that restarting the computer will clear temporary files, resulting in invalidation of this method.

1. Press Win E to open Windows Explorer.
2. Navigate to the Bluebeam temporary file location: C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Temp\BluebeamSoftware .
3. Check the file list and find temporary files that have not saved files. Temporary files can be opened for checking, but this method may still lose some of the changes.

Method 3: Clear cached files

If the Recover Unsaved Changes feature is invalid, you can try to clear the cached file.

1. Open File Explorer on your computer.
2. Go to cache file location: C:\Users\username\AppData\Bluebeam\Revu\20\Recovery (Replace "20" with your current version of your software).
3. Press Ctrl A to select all files, and right-click to select Delete.

After that, reopen Bluebeam to see if the "Restore Unsaved Changes" window appears. If it appears, follow the steps in Method 1 to restore the changes.

Additional tip: Recover deleted/lost Bluebeam files

If the Bluebeam file is accidentally deleted, first check the Recycle Bin. If you cannot find the required files, you can use professional data recovery software such as MiniTool Power Data Recovery. This software supports the recovery of various types of files. You can first use the free version to scan and detect lost files.
