Step 1. Install Bluebeam Revu

Programs to open BAX file
Remember to download programs supporting BAX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Bluebeam Revu with BAX files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the BAX file to open in the Bluebeam Revu application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the BAX file with the Bluebeam Revu application.
Step 3. Update Bluebeam Revu to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Bluebeam Revu program with the Bluebeam Revu Markup Document Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Bluebeam website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BAX file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The BAX file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the BAX file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file BAX or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected BAX files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the BAX file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged BAX files. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file BAX except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the BAX file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the BAX file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file BAX to close. However, some background programs may block the BAX file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
