Overall Satisfaction with Bluebeam Revu
We use BlueBeam for quite a few things. We are using it over 80% of our company. We use it as a PDF viewer. We also use it as a PDF editor. We use it to link together multiple PDF files. We use it to create forms. As a construction company, we use it across the board since it is so versatile. We have actually made fillable forms with BlueBeam in a scenario where we usually a program to create RFIs, and it wasn't working. We quickly were able to make a form we could use while it was down.
- BlueBeam is great for creating fillable PDF forms. You can have text boxes, drop downs and radio buttons to press to get the info you need.
- You can easily link PDF files with other PDFs. Example: we might have a blue print of a job site, and there is the main view, and then other cut views of the blue print. We can color code the main view in certain areas, where you can click, and it will take you right to the cut view of the area you clicked.
- It has great options for adding stamps and signatures
- The "stapler" feature allows you take multiple files, and different file types, and it will convert them right into a PDF for you
- You can take PDF documents and convert them into word or excel documents.
- With creating PDF forms, while there are quite a few options, there are still a few that I would like to see. Example: you can create a fillable text box. But it will only fit across the page so far. I'd like to be able to make it an unlimited box that the end user could scroll down and see, or re-proportion the screen to see all of the text.
- Our superintendents don't have to learn multiple programs. Everything they might need for PDF viewing and editing is right here. This saves us having to buy multiple program licenses, and give training for each product.
Other programs can do bits and pieces of it, and it's all rolled right into one program. Adobe Acrobat pro version can do a lot of things, but it doesn't do it ALL, and as fast as BlueBeam can.
