Push PDF files from Forma into Bluebeam sessions for live markup and review, then sync changes back with all annotations intact; no manual uploads are needed.
Revised PDFs, including markups and revisions, are automatically versioned and updated in Forma - cutting out tedious file management and reducing coordination risk.
Cloud-based and mobile-ready, the Be.Smart Connector ensures your team can review and comment from anywhere - office, site, or remote - without falling out of sync.
Combine the precision of Bluebeam's markup tools with the centralised control of Autodesk Forma- delivering frictionless collaboration without changing how your teams work.
How it works
Send PDFs directly from Autodesk Forma into Bluebeam Studio Sessions for markup, comments, and collaborative reviews—live or async.
Thanks to automated slip sheeting, annotations stay intact across revisions—so feedback is never lost, and rework is avoided.
Whether you're at the office, on the jobsite, or remote, access and review documents from any device. No desktop dependencies, no version confusion.
Continue using Bluebeam for precision markup and Forma for project management—now seamlessly connected, without changing the tools your teams already trust.

Product FAQs
Can Bluebeam markups be edited and preserved in Forma?
Bluebeam and Forma markups remain separate for full integrity. Bluebeam markups appear in Forma as selectable objects for reference, but edits must be done in Bluebeam. Forma markups stay in Forma. Need changes? Simply re-send files back to Bluebeam for editing.
How does the Be.Smart Connector work with Bluebeam Sessions and Projects?
Both are supported! For slip-sheeting, use Bluebeam Projects. You can also nest Sessions under Projects to enable slip-sheeting within a Session.
Does the Be.Smart Connector support slip-sheeting and multi-page PDFs?
Yes! Multi-page PDFs are supported. You can also combine multiple Forma Sheets into one PDF and slip-sheet updates directly into Bluebeam projects for streamlined version control.
Are hyperlinks and markup metadata preserved during sync?
All Bluebeam hyperlinks and metadata are preserved and can be accessed in Bluebeam.
