Jonathan: My name is Jonathan. I'm a curtain wall designer. I give Bluebeam Revu four out of five. Click below for more reviews. Before we were using Bluebeam Revu, I was using Adobe Acrobat. I primarily use construction drawings in my job, and Adobe Acrobat is very clunky for working with large format construction drawings. And so, when we switched to Bluebeam Revu, it was just so much easier to navigate large sets of drawings and large format drawings. I chose Bluebeam Revu because I had read about it on social media and drafting forums. It seemed like a lot of people were moving to that so I gave the trial version a try and I was just blown away with how easy it was to use and how much quicker I could navigate my drawings. That's when we made the decision to buy it. Bluebeam Revu, it was easy to set up. It was easy to download and to install on my PC. The only issue that we've had with it, and it's the reason I give it four out of five stars instead of five out of five stars is the licensing scheme seems a little bit old fashioned, in that you can only install it on one PC. In this day and age, when you're working from your office or you're working remotely from home, they will make you purchase an extra license to work from home. Unless you go through deauthorizing your license while you're at work and then authorizing it again while you're at home. But other than that, it's very easy to use. It's very easy to install and very easy to set up and customize. The advice I would give to anyone else who's working with construction drawings is to definitely buy it. It's the best in the field. You will not regret it. It's easy to use and it's going to make you more productive.
