What is the difference between Bluebeam PDF Revu CAD Edition and Adobe 6.0 Professional? |
|
 |
|
- Bluebeam allows users to batch create PDF files from AutoCAD (No Adobe solution has this). Adobe's solutions require users to convert drawings one by one. The time savings using this feature can be immense considering the average large AEC project can have over a thousand drawings.
- Bluebeam allows users to convert their drawings and documents to PDF, DWF, TIF, JPG, BMP, PSD, PNG, PCL, GIF, EMF, and WMF.
- Bluebeam's PDF printer driver is the only one with specialized presets for the top 10 CAD applications so your CAD drawings always look accurate (Not available with Adobe's solutions).
- Bluebeam PDF Revu CAD Edition is the only PDF application with a printing solution, Bluebeam Blue-print, which allows users to send their drawings directly from their PDF interface directly to an expert reprographer.
- Bluebeam has enhanced FTP and E-mail features that make files sharing effortless.
- Bluebeam has specialized security features developed to protect CAD drawings.
- Bluebeam has specialized bookmarking features with CAD-specific options (Again, not available with Adobe's solutions).
- Bluebeam has a comprehensive solution to accurately render all merged lines from an AutoCAD drawing. This is extremely important for firms that need to share their drawings with contractors and clients. It ensures that your PDF file is an exact representation of your CAD drawing and can be shared and plotted with confidence (We are partnered with the US Reprographics network, the largest reprographics network in the world. They have stated that Bluebeam is the ideal plot submission software for their customers).

"Bluebeam PDF Revu has paid for itself many times over in my landscaping business by increasing productivity and enhancing my communication with clients, contractors, coworkers and subs."
- Cheri Stringer
Mason Interiors
"After using Bluebeam for less than a month, more like a week actually, our estimators were praising the software. With Bluebeam’s markup tools, they have the ability to clarify the job requirements. This removes a number of questions that arise over the course of a regular job. Bluebeam has also become a great team building device."
- Allen Frost
Conceptromec Export
"Bluebeam's interface is friendly and intuitive. Printing management is way faster than what I use to know and the plug-ins added directly to Solidworks, AutoCAD and Office are just what I needed."
- Nicolas Lavoie
Exeter University
"I Just found a truly wonderful feature in your software - Compare Documents. I am looking at a drawing which has been revised and just like that I can see exactly where the changes have been made - such a time-saver."
- David Dollman
Stephen Thomas Marketing
"I will definitely 100% be using that Bluebeam every day. It has saved me an insurmountable amount of time when dealing with changes to art from the client and then trying to relay these changes to the artist. It has cut down on confusion and mistakes."
- Stephen Thomas
William A. Berry & Son, Inc.
"This minor software investment can save hundreds of thousands of dollars. In comparing two similar projects over six months, we realized an 83% savings in printing and courier fees on the Bluebeam project. That’s more than $25,000 in savings, which doesn’t even begin to account for the cost savings from increased productivity."
- Kevin Healey, Project Executive
Industrial Process Technologies
"Bluebeam is the best tool – so much better for the $$$ than Adobe."
- Will Boylan
BCRA
"With the ever changing pace of our industry, we are constantly on the lookout for software that will allow our users to work with their projects in an efficient manner. With Bluebeam now being implemented into our office, we found the missing link we were looking for to increase our production while working with PDF files as well as the efficiency of creating these documents from AutoCAD as well as our MS Office Products."
- Glen Hines, CAD Manager
Port of Bellingham
"Bluebeam PDF software works great! What a time saver in handling AutoCAD drawings. With the added bonus of having the other Microsoft products included, it was definitely worth every penny."
- Scott Wendling
