All of a sudden my PC laptop has issues when I convert a picture to a Bluebeam PDF file, it becomes pixelated. I’ve always downloaded the pics from my phone to the computer then converted them to the pdf files so I could mark them up. Lately l’ve had to use the snipping tool to copy and paste it onto Bluebeam then mark them up that way, but they don’t fill the page enough or they are too large.
I’m current on all my windows updates. Maybe one of these updates is the reason this is happening?

Any ideas?

Updates are usually my problem too. Have to back through the list and disable or delete.

I hate updates.

How were you converting the images to PDF?

I right click on the image and in my file and click on Convert Files In Revu just like I always have until a couple of weeks ago.

The snipping tool is more than likely reducing the quality of the image when pasting it in. Bluebeam has the ability to insert the files into a page without having to convert them in revu, helpful if putting multiple on the same sheet/page.

The snipping tool is all that I can use to get the photo to a pdf document that isn’t all pixelated. Is there another way to get the photo converted to a PDF doc?

I don't know exactly what you are trying to do, or I should say I don't know anything about "bluebeam".
I also don't know what PDF editor you use.

I just opened Adobe Acrobat, clicked file, create, from file, selected a photo, clicked open, the photo opened in the window then clicked save as and saved it as a pdf. I don't know if that helps at all.

Not sure if you're just coverting pictures to pdfs or your inserting them as part of a report. Here's a video explaining how to insert a picture. You can also select multiple and it will keep giving you the image cursor to place a size your image until you placed them all.

Also, you can copy and paste the image from one pdf to the other. Bluebeam has an internal snapshot tool and is much better for snipping details on drawings and still allowing you to zoom in out it.

I need to convert the picture to a PDF doc to mark it up.
To insert the pics into a report I just copy and paste or just use the snipping tool to crop the picture as needed.

The way I explained in my previous post turns the photo into a pdf file.

I was just playing with it and if I open the picture in the to image viewer then right click and then click on “Open With” and click on Revu the picture comes out unpixeled.

Very strange.
