Bluebeam On The Go!

More ways to use Bluebeam than just Revu 21 at your desktop

Today I want to shed a little more light on the ways Bluebeam can be utilized via mobile devices. First, we will take a look at the two Bluebeam Apps that are available.

iOS App

Bluebeam® Revu® for iPad lets you work without limits from anywhere. Access and navigate PDFs on the go. Markup PDFs with industry-standard symbols in the field, and verify measurements on the fly. Collaborate with colleagues in real time using Revu’s cloud-based solution, Bluebeam Studio™, which instantly renders large format single sheet PDFs so productivity isn’t compromised. All it takes is a tap and swipe to experience the difference.

Markup and Measure

• Add comments, images, symbols, multimedia and more with customizable markup tools

• Embed multiple photos and videos into markups using the iPad camera, as well as image files from the Document Manager or your iPad’s Photo Library

• Save custom markups in the Tool Chest™ for easy reuse, or import your own

• Verify length, area, perimeter, radius and volume measurements

Collaborate

• Access Studio Projects created in Revu on Windows or Mac, and check out and edit Project PDFs, regardless of Internet access

• Start Studio Sessions or join existing ones to collaborate with colleagues in real time

• Chat with and follow any attendee’s view as they markup Session PDFs

• Set attendee permissions such as save, print, markup and add documents

View and Track

• Track all comments placed on PDFs – including author, date and time – with the Markups list

• Sort markups, view Custom Columns and manage which columns are displayed in the Markups list

• Reply to markup comments and change the status of markups in the Markups list

Sync and Navigate

• Sync PDFs or entire folders without interruption from Dropbox, Box, WebDAV, ShareFile and Studio Projects

• Navigate instantly rendered large format, single page PDFs from Studio Projects with Studio Go®

• Rotate, reorder or add/delete pages from the Thumbnails tab

• Add, delete or tap through existing bookmarks in a PDF and search for text

Current App rating: 1.7/5

Cost: $9.99

Android App (Bluebeam Cloud)

The Bluebeam Cloud app for Android is a mobile app that allows users to mark up PDFs, collaborate on projects, and manage documents:

  • Mark up PDFs: Add markups to PDFs within a Studio Session 
  • Collaborate on projects: Use the Studio Sessions tool to invite others to mark up the same PDF in real time 
  • Manage documents: Use the Studio Projects tool to manage documents in the cloud 
  • Access Tool Chest: Access your Tool Chest from Revu to standardize communication with collaborators 
  • Track comments: Track comments, reply to markups, and change statuses in the Markups List 

Current App Rating: 1.3/5

(many of the features contained in the Android app are the same as the browser version of Bluebeam Cloud)
