Bluebeam Revu Reviews

Blue beam review

Comments: It is my preferred PDF editor and I constantly use it to make edits

Pros:

It is very user friendly and very intuitive. The dashboards are set up similar to acad and I can draw pretty well. The editing features are also top notch.

Cons:

It is a bit pricey for a PDF editor. You can get adobe versions much cheaper and while it maybe less functional, the adobe programs do work ok.

Amazing PDF reader, better than Adobe Acrobat. Very useful engineering tools

Comments: This is the fastest tool when it comes to drawing review, pdf document creation and control, and diagram creation. The tools at your disposal allow you to do many things which other programs do not. I would recommend this software over any other PDF reader.

Pros:

Very handy and intuitive engineering tools, you can mark up drawings, get measurements and estimate quantities very easily. The drawings tools are also very useful, allowing for easy creation of clean diagrams. The PDF tools are powerful and I have completely phased out Adobe Acrobat in favour of using Bluebeam.

Cons:

The only downside I have come across is the inability to created lines of fixed length, you have to create a measurement and then create a line to match the measurement.

Great for any construction company

Pros:

I loved being able to learn the ins and out of this software, however it was not was easy for me. Helping a local construction company use this software to put their PDFs together and help create new blueprints. User friendly on an advanced design level.

Cons:

The mark ups took some getting used to but once I understood the concept it wasn’t that hard

Bluebeam is a great markup tool

Comments: Great, it made working from home possible and an easy tool to share / track live markups between offices.

Pros:

Ease of marking up a PDF document, functionality of searching documents, and comparing 2 documents.

Cons:

I wish you could separate the settings and tool chest to a separate window

Bluebeam is a cost effective alternative to other PDF Editors in the construction world

Pros:

Cost effectiveness and ease of use compared to other editors.

Cons:

Some tools are less sophisticated than other editors on the market but overall worth it in terms of cost.

Bluebeam Revu

Comments: I was a little hesitant at first when my company switched from Adobe to Bluebeam, but now that I have gotten use to the program I would never want to go back to Adobe.

Pros:

It's easy to mark up PDF files. In the construction industry, we make markups on blueprints and submittals. It's also easy for material take-offs with the measuring tools.

Cons:

I still haven't been satisfied with all the toolbars and their locations. I have a tool bar on the top, side and bottom and I haven't figured out how to make it so I can just show the tools that I use the most.

Bluebeam Revu is one of the best software currently in the market

Comments: i am using Bluebeam Revu since one year, i found it very helpful in all aspects

Pros:

Bluebeam Revu is one of the best software currently in the market, i found it very helpful to manage many kind of documents. i personally use it mostly for managing PDF files. its a great toll to merge many files in a single click. with its great tools of editing we prepare many kinds of presentation for our client and consultant meeting that bear fruitful results most of the time. for any documents to change any kind of text and pictures it is very handy, managing large files and to find every single topic in a simple search is the key to this software, in short i would recommend this software for all users refer to the other same kind of software in the current market.

Cons:

i like all the features of this software that why we are using this software in our organization. what i like the most in it is that its very easy to edit any kind of page with the desired results. with all its text styles its more fun to use, managing huge files in a single click make it more efficient. any word or topic to find is very easy

Bluebeam Revu raving results

Pros:

Once I learned how to use it there was no going back to Adobe. Blue Beam has management tools that improve review speed and accuracy.

Cons:

Thelearning curve if you really want to use the product the correct way.

Untrustworthy Developer - Dropped the ball

Pros:

Brings a lot of features and functionality missing from Acrobat. To my knowledge, no other PDF software is geared towards the A+E market. I wish there was another one out there so that these guys didn't have a monopoly on the market. It has given them a sense of invincibility that has led to stagnation and a lack of genuine support for their customers.

Cons:

I've been using Revu for about 8 years, 5 of those on Windows. The last 3 are at my most recent job, and when I found out that Bluebeam had created a Revu for Mac, I was quick to push our company to adopt. I even gave a lunchtime presentation to show everyone some of the really powerful features I had come to know and love from the windows side. Playing with the trial version of 1.0, though, I quickly realized that a ton of features were absent from the windows version. I went ahead and gave the presentation anyway, though and with some convincing, we bought seats for everyone. It became clear within the first week of using the software, though, that it was incredibly slow. So slow as to be unusable. It took several seconds to render every page... considering that we regularly deal with 100+ page architectural sets, this made the program worthless in a lot of cases. What's more we really felt the lack of some features from the windows side, many of which were so basic that it's laughable that Bluebeam decided not to invest in them. You can't crop pdfs for instance. Anyway, when bluebeam for mac 2.0 came out, we bought in thinking that we'd be getting all of the features that we were missing along with performance improvements. Turns out they decided to revamp the UI with almost 0 feature inclusions. The performance of page rendering was significantly improved, which was helpful, although page thumbnails now no longer load.

Bluebeam for Document And Comments Management

Pros:

Bluebeam Revu’s robust PDF editing tools, precise measurement capabilities, and customizable markup features make it excellent for detailed document review and collaboration.

Cons:

The software cannot handle large size PDFs and shutdowns for no good reason.

Blue beam review

Comments: very good for certain things without having to open up cad

Pros:

take off made easy and not having to print anything off

Cons:

the task bars seem very confusing and time-consuming to setup

I Recommend Bluebeam

Comments: It is an excellent tool for reviewing drawings and organizing reports in a clear manner.

Pros:

Marking up drawings and also being able to create a shared document for multiple users to mark up make this a strong tool that allows AEC professionals to go digital and avoid printing.

Cons:

Tools that allow me to draw straight lines on documents would help.

Bluebeam User

Comments: Extremely satisfied with the use and functions. I recommend it to all my co workers.

Game changer

Pros:

I like how bluebeam make the takeoffs so much easier especially the count tool combined with the search tool that will make our estimate easier to price up.

I think the length tool should be more subject to edit so i can personalized the feature or the looks

Bluebeam for design teams

Pros:

Incredibly simple markup tool. Variety of easy to use built in tools.

Cons:

Occasionally suffers from strange bugs that seem to propagate throughout multiple updates and versions.

Way more than just a .PDF program...

Pros:

I love all of the takeoff features bluebeam has. Being tailor made for construction and having all of the same features as the competitors as well makes it a no Brainer for me.

Cons:

Integration was easy. Learning the program is slightly different than competitors but there is a good help section and online communities.

Streamlining Construction Projects with Bluebeam

Pros:

Bluebeam is an exceptional software solution that offers a wide range of benefits for construction professionals and project managers. One of its most notable features is the ability to perform takeoffs from PDF files, which can be a time-consuming and labor-intensive task when done manually. Bluebeam makes it easy to perform takeoffs from PDF files, allowing users to accurately calculate the quantities of materials required for a project. This can help to reduce errors and ensure that the project is completed on time and within budget.

Cons:

Some users have reported performance issues with Bluebeam, such as slow processing times or crashes. While these issues are not common, they can be frustrating when they do occur.

Easy to use

Comments: very good

Pros:

very cheap and good tools and easy to use

Cons:

no longer supported on Mac meaning it cannot update and features can no longer be added

This application is one of the most important things we found

Pros:

This app is a lifesaver, it helps us making take-off from PDF plans that cannot be converted to AutoCAD or any DWG software and making estimates for those plans. It is easy to use, cheap and helps you in the right direction. It saves time because in the past we had to redraw those plans in AutoCAD to make take-off.

Cons:

This application saves us many times, so I don't have any problem with this software.
