You can download your drawing set with the review's issues attached to it as PDF comments — so the findings arrive in the tool your team already redlines in.
What you get
A PDF of the set, with each issue placed as a comment at the location it was found.
In Bluebeam, every comment appears as a row in the markups list. You can sort it, filter it, assign it, and work down it exactly as you would a set marked up by a senior reviewer — because as far as Bluebeam is concerned, that is what it is.
Open it in Bluebeam
Use Bluebeam, or Adobe Acrobat. The markups do not render correctly in macOS Preview. If you open the file in Preview and the comments appear to be missing or wrong, the file is fine — the viewer is not.
When this is the right tool
The export is useful when the people who need the findings are not going to log into Pirros:
A back-check meeting where the set is on screen and people are working through it together
Sending findings to a consultant who does not have access
Keeping a record of what a set looked like at a particular milestone
For day-to-day work, the issues list in Pirros is better — it carries the reasoning, the instance grouping, the assignment, and the history across runs, none of which survive the export to a flat PDF.
It does not come back
The export is one-way. Marking a comment as resolved in Bluebeam does not resolve the issue in Pirros, and comments added in Bluebeam do not appear in the review.
If you want the work tracked, do it in Pirros. Use the export for distribution and for meetings.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: The markups look wrong when I open the file. What's happening?
A: Check what you opened it in. The markups do not render correctly in macOS Preview. Use Bluebeam or Adobe Acrobat — the file is fine, the viewer isn't.
Q: If I resolve a comment in Bluebeam, does it resolve in Pirros?
A: No. The export is one-way. Comments added or resolved in Bluebeam don't come back to the review, so if you want the work tracked, do it in Pirros.
Q: Why would I use this instead of the issues list?
A: When the people who need the findings aren't going to log into Pirros — a back-check meeting, a consultant without access, or a record of the set at a particular milestone. For day-to-day work the issues list is better.
Q: What is lost in the export?
A: The reasoning, the instance grouping, the assignments, and the run history. A flat PDF can't carry any of it.
Q: Can I export just the issues I've filtered to?
A: The export reflects the review you run it from. If you want a narrower set of findings in the PDF, scope the review itself more tightly rather than relying on the export to filter.
