How To Change The Selected Text Capitalization In Bluebeam Revu?

Updated September 19, 2026 · First version published October 21, 2023

Bluebeam Revu 21 still has no documented Change Case, Uppercase, Lowercase, Title Case, or Sentence case command. If a markup or PDF string is in the wrong case, the native path is to select the existing text and type a replacement. In text-box markups you can select particular words, not only the whole box. This article is scoped to Revu 21, the current desktop line as of September 19, 2026. Revu 20 reached End of Support on July 31, 2026 and is scheduled for End of Life on December 31, 2026. The latest published desktop build is Revu 21.11 (September 1, 2026). Those release notes cover MCP and text-box improvements. They still do not add a native one-click case conversion.

What Is Bluebeam Revu?

Bluebeam Revu is a PDF create, edit, markup, and collaboration application used in architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC). Teams use it to mark up drawings, measure dimensions, manage project PDFs, and work on the same set with colleagues. Unlike a basic PDF viewer, Revu is built for those project-heavy drawing and document workflows.

Revu OCR can turn text in scanned PDFs into searchable and selectable text. It does not reconstruct scanned pages into freely editable PDF text. Searchable, selectable OCR is still useful for finding a string in a scan. It is not the same as a live text object you can freely rewrite.

Built-in path for changing text case in Revu 21

Revu 21 does not currently document a native one-click case command. The built-in path is still to edit, retype, or replace the selected text. Double-click a text-box markup, select the words you want, and type the replacement.

Bluebeam Max on Revu 21.9 and later can connect external AI through MCP. That can help with prompts and with rewriting or reformatting content. The published MCP command list still has no Select text → Change Case action. The set_markup_property command changes colors, opacity, author, and similar markup attributes — not capitalization. MCP and Max AI do not replace a dedicated case conversion.

If the string is not already in the PDF, or you only need to convert a snippet once, use the free case converter. That page pastes converted text. It does not rewrite the open Revu markup.

Convert selected Revu text alongside AnyCase on Windows

Revu does not currently document a native one-click case command. A Windows utility such as AnyCase can provide that in-place workflow alongside Revu on Windows. AnyCase is not a Bluebeam plugin, and this article does not claim a Bluebeam API integration.

AnyCase is a Windows 11, 10, 8.1, and 8 utility. It converts selected text in Revu 21 and other Windows programs. It is not a Revu feature, and it is not a multi-platform app.

The free version is unlimited to use, with a short delay between conversions. AnyCase Pro is $24 per year and removes that delay. It includes three stations.

To convert selected text in Revu 21 with the AnyCase menu:

1. Download AnyCase.
2. Install it as you would any other Windows program.
3. In Revu 21, select the words you want to change in a text-box markup or other editable field.
4. Hold Shift, then right-click the selection. Choose the case you want from the AnyCase conversion menu. Ordinary right-click alone opens the usual Revu menu, not the AnyCase conversions. You can also pick a case from the AnyCase window.

The Win+Alt keys below are default AnyCase shortcuts. You can change them in AnyCase settings. They are not Revu shortcuts. Install AnyCase first; without it, those combinations do nothing in Revu.

Final thoughts on Revu 21 capitalization

Revu 21 still has no documented one-click Change Case command. The native path is to select existing text and type a replacement, including particular words inside a text-box markup. Revu OCR can turn text in scanned PDFs into searchable and selectable text, not freely editable PDF text. Bluebeam Max MCP can rewrite or reformat content, but the command list still has no Select text → Change Case, and set_markup_property is for markup attributes such as colors, opacity, and author. If you want the same in-place Windows shortcut alongside Revu and other programs, that comes from a Windows utility such as AnyCase. For a one-off paste, use the free case converter.
