Automate your PDF creation with Bluebeam Conversion Server 3.0


Bluebeam Conversion Server 3.0 automatically converts CAD, Office and Windows files to PDF, TIF and 9 other file formats. Perfect for companies that share and archive CAD and Windows documents, Bluebeam Conversion Server can centrally manage file conversion and integrate with a document management system or other processes. The Server Manager Tool makes it easy to configure conversion settings including page size, color, layouts, text stamps and more. The Bluebeam Conversion Server also includes a web-based Server Reporting tool so you can monitor and access conversion process reports in real time.



Bluebeam Conversion Server offers the flexibility of three interfaces:

Watched Folders

Existing File Folders
Bluebeam Conversion Server watches Existing File Folders located on your network containing your project files. The server is configured to convert new files or updated files based on the schedule you specify (hourly, daily, weekly, etc.). This requires no interaction by users, they simple open and save files as normal and PDF creation is automatic.

New Conversion Folders
New folders are created on the network and configured specifically for converting files rather than storing files. The New Conversion Folders offer PDF creation in real time. With New Conversion Folders, users must copy the file into the folder to initiate PDF creation.

Network PDF Printer
Bluebeam Conversion Server includes a Network PDF Printer interface. The network printer device is installed on the client machine so users can convert CAD, Office and Windows files with a simple print command. Any file that can be printed can be converted to PDF or 10 file formats (TIFF, JPEG, GIF, etc.). The Network PDF Printer interface offers the flexibility to choose:

  • File name
  • Folder to save the converted file
  • Image Resolution
  • Image Compression
  • Line Merge
  • Rotation

Programmatic Interface (API)
Bluebeam Conversion Server customers have complete access to the Bluebeam API. The Programmatic Interface allows customers to control:
  • Specific file type
  • Defining page sizes
  • Applying text stamps
  • Specify input and output files
The Programmatic Interface available in Bluebeam Conversion Server is a .NET API (Visual Basic .NET, C#)
