"Bluebeam PDF Creater "
What do you like best about Bluebeam Revu? I love everything about Bluebeam. The things to do with this software are endless! Not only do I just it for PDF creation type projects, I can also do basic design work in it as well. What do you dislike about Bluebeam Revu? There isn't much I dislike about Bluebeam. It will overload and close on it's own from time to time, but that also could be operator error by having too many documents open. Recommendations to others considering Bluebeam ...

"Best pdf software I've found"
What do you like best about Bluebeam Revu? This is the best interface I've found for editing and marking up pdf's in a professional capacity. You can save tools, stamps, and customize settings. You can also use it to complete takeoffs of drawings, and the program will summarize your quantities for you. What do you dislike about Bluebeam Revu? It is missing some features that are included in microsoft paint, so I have had to do some editing in there, save a pdf, and reopen in ...

"Great Substitute for Adobe"
What do you like best about Bluebeam Revu? It's affordable, and the electronic review component of the program is heavy in features and easy to use. The majority of my experience with the program was to review construction drawings. In comparison to Adobe, there is more of a variety of tools, shapes, call outs, etc. What do you dislike about Bluebeam Revu? No formal AODA compliance tools, but there are some workarounds but not a complete solution. A simple sit down with an interpretive ...

"All-in-one PDF software"

What do you dislike about Bluebeam Revu? Not much. Maybe a feature that change/add/remove some of 'button' on the taskbar on top. Also, there's no shortcut on some of the ...

"Excellent collaboration tool and versatile PDF viewer."
What do you like best about Bluebeam Revu? This software is essential for multi-user markup sessions, and not-taking on PDF documents. Conditional formatting of annotations is one particularly nice feature (i.e. set the color of a markup to change once the comment has been addressed by the team). What do you dislike about Bluebeam Revu? The user interface is sometimes counter-intuitive, particularly the way the mouse and keyboard controls vary between the select, pan, and zoom modes. The ...

What do you dislike about Bluebeam Revu? I wish bluebleam had the look and feel of Adobe Acrobat. Some things within bluebeam seem a bit clunky.
