Bluebeam PDF Revu is a powerful PDF solution built for the design and construction industry that includes all the features needed to switch from paper-based processes to more-efficient electronic workflows.  Bluebeam’s easy to use PDF creation, markup and editing application makes it the smart choice for digital project communication and collaboration. 
 

What can Bluebeam do for you?

Bluebeam is used by leading architecture, construction and engineering firms to collect design review feedback, create digital submittals, perform takeoffs, share bid documents, create and answer RFIs, submit change orders, and complete punch lists electronically in PDF. The amazing results include an 80 percent reduction in paper and shipping costs (not to mention the reduction in shredding services and storage costs) and a 60 percent increase in productivity.
 

How does Bluebeam digitize workflows?

Bluebeam stops paper trails before they start. The software creates PDFs from AutoCAD, Revit and MS Office with the push of a button and converts other Windows files to PDF with a smart printer driver. Next, Revu offers several PDF markup and editing features so users can comment directly on PDF drawings and documents. Markup options include pens, highlighters, text, clouds, CAD symbols, shapes, custom stamps and even measurements. Customized annotations can be saved in Bluebeam’s exclusive Tool Chest then reapplied later with just one click.

Bluebeam’s PDF markup and editing tools are incredibly useful and efficient. However the real digitizing powers lie in its advanced features. The Markups List tracks all PDF comments and captures key information, including the markup’s author and date created. This list can be summarized in PDF, CSV or XML and is perfect for tracking accountability. The Measurement tool is great for takeoffs, estimates and pricing. It places counts and various measurement annotations on the PDF and inputs data into the Markups List, from which users can perform quantity or cost calculations. The document comparison feature automatically compares two drawing revisions and places clouds on the differences, making it easy to spot changes.

To help firms go as paperless as possible, Revu makes it easy to access and share PDFs. The exclusive File Access tab searches local and network drives, previews recently viewed PDFs, and allows users to pin commonly viewed folders and files for rapid retrieval. Bluebeam also integrates into Bentley ProjectWise and Microsoft SharePoint, so users can check PDFs in and out directly from the Revu interface. Bluebeam’s latest innovation, Studio, enables users to share PDFs with project partners around the globe and add markups to a single copy of a PDF together in real time or separately at their own time. Finally, Bluebeam’s tablet PC compatibility brings all these powerful features to the road and the jobsite so project partners can be mobile and paperless.
