When you add the number of characters in the file name E101 Sheet Set Plan.pdf, the combined total is 255 for the SharePoint folder path plus the file name. Let’s assume that the total character count for this folder path, including the server name (spvmZZ), is 232 characters. The location of the file within the SharePoint repository is spvmZZtest library 1Valley College ProjectSheets…Electrical. Let’s look at an example of a user with a Windows login name of jdavis who is opening a PDF file from SharePoint named E101 Sheet Set Plan.pdf. All of the folders are in fact empty, except for the final folder which only contains the documents you’ve opened or checked out. Only the folder structure and document you’re accessing are copied to your local hard drive. This increases the character count because it also includes the path from the root of your C drive (C:) to the SharePoint Drafts folder, as explained in the following example. Before Revu can search the folder path where the document is located, it first needs to visit:Ĭ:UsersDocumentsSharePoint Drafts before it can search the folder path where the document is located. When a SharePoint-hosted PDF is opened in Revu, the file is copied to a “SharePoint Drafts” folder on your PC. Revu currently supports a 260 character limit for file paths, which is comprised of the folder path plus the file name. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters.) Cause



(The specified path, file name, or both are too long. When attempting to access a SharePoint file within Bluebeam Revu, the following message appears:

While a recent SharePoint update has made it possible to raise file path character limits, Revu is currently not compatible with file paths longer than 260 characters.
