Overall Satisfaction with Bluebeam Revu

It is utilized to put together presentation pdfs for clients, meetings, etc. We also use it to aid in space planning and laying out schematic floor plans at the block level.
  • Marking up PDFs with preloaded stamps.
  • Easy to use line/rectangle tools.
  • Can't select pixels by color.
  • Hard to find bookmark tool.
  • It helps save time when marking up PDFs.
  • Need a separate platform/expense for photo editing.
Bluebeam is a good in-between of Adobe and Photoshop. If you're not looking to do photo editing, but need more capabilities than just line work, Bluebeam is perfect.
When trying to create a bookmark, the 'help' tool still was not able to resolve it. I had to have an IT person to show me how to do it.
