Reviews of Bluebeam Revu

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.
Best Functioning PDF Software
Comments: Revu has everything needed for editing, measuring, overlaying and marking up pdfs. Incredible time saver.
Pros:
Very functional, everything you could need in the construction world for a PDF software.
Cons:
I'd like it to be able to read text better, my phone can decipher text from a photo better than Revu can decipher the same text from a pdf of the same photo.
Time lost over horrible system. FIX THE PROBLEMS THAT YOU KNOW EXIST
Comments: Poor at Best. I am so tired of taking my time to explain your horrible system to our clients. WEAK!!!!
Pros:
Nothing!! Because it doesn't work consistently enough to monitor anything good.
Cons:
Poor system, POOR communication with other systems that your group guaranteed would work. We all know that you have tried to fix problems, but your group cannot seem to get it right.
tons of features, faily easy to use
Comments: I use this program almost daily for work and find it to be faily simple, mostly reliable, and with all the features I could hope for without being crazy complex.
Pros:
Lots of useful features. Easy to merge documents and edit files. Lots of editing tools, and once all that's done, you can also reduce file size to allow the file to compress and be small enough to attach to emails.
Cons:
Certain updates make it very glitchy and it will freeze frequently on me. Other updates are perfectly fine. Seems they issue a revised update fairly quickly when these issues occur.
