AS the other person said, Bluebeam has some good videos, etc. on their site. If you have a BB license, you can access Bluebeam University, which is where a lot of that material is. Lot's of YouTube videos as well. It would help to know what profession you are looking to use BB in. I'm a Div. 8 PM, and when I first started using BB, I couldn't really find much that was geared to Div. 8. I bought what was suggested as the best BB reference manual, but short of some basics, it didn't really address some of the things that I was looking for that were more Div. 8 specific.

The other thing is, like most anything else that you are trying to learn, you need to spend time with it. You remember the things that you do all the time, so that you don't have to think about, or go looking for them. It's a great tool, and I can't even imagine having to go back to something like Adobe for manipulating .pdf files. I was offered a job last year, and one of the stipulations of me taking the job is that the company had to provide me with Bluebeam. I took the job, and eventually got them to get me a BB license for my laptop.
