### Troubleshooting Issues When Opening PDF Documents

Sometimes, when opening PDFs in Bluebeam, the "Sign in to SharePoint" dialog box may appear. However, nothing happens after signing in.

Possible solution:  
Open the settings in Bluebeam using "CTRL + K," and then, under the "User Interface" option, completely remove all connections to buildagil.

You can also check whether the authentication mode in the Bluebeam settings under "SharePoint Options" can be changed to "Authentication at Web Login."
