"Bluebeam Defeats Adobe"

What do you like best? I like Bluebeam for reviewing PDFs and executing mark-ups up with my notes, as well as doing small takeoffs.

"Bluebeam Review"

What do you like best? I have recently started using the 2017 Bluebeam Revu, I really enjoy using the new color fill features to create colored floor plans for marketing.
