Édition et annotation de PDF en déplacement avec collaboration intégrée
4.8/5 (219 avis)Bluebeam Revu fonctionne comme un plug-in dans les applications Word, Excel, Outlook et PowerPoint de Microsoft Office, ainsi que dans les programmes de CAO courants, comme AutoCAD. Le plug-in permet d'ajouter des fonctions d'annotations PDF personnalisables, de création et de modification de PDF ou encore de gestion des images à certaines des applications de bureau et de conception les plus utilisées. Bluebeam Revu est disponible en trois versions spécialisées : Standard, CAD et eXtreme.
Bluebeam Revu Standard offre la création de PDF en un seul clic, l'annotation de PDF 2D et 3D et la collaboration en temps réel. Les fonctionnalités avancées d'édition des PDF de cette version comprennent des mises en page, des polices, des en-têtes et des pieds de page personnalisables. Les utilisateurs peuvent également fractionner des PDF en sections, extraire et faire pivoter des pages, les exporter en tant que documents Word modifiables ou encore effectuer un traitement des couleurs et une conversion en niveaux de gris. Le traitement par lots les aide à appliquer des modifications sur plusieurs documents à la fois. Le plug-in effectue aussi la conversion PDF d'autres types de fichiers Windows.
Bluebeam CAD possède toutes les fonctionnalités de l'éditeur Standard, en plus de fonctions spécialisées pour les professionnels de la conception. Le plug-in de CAO fonctionne avec AutoCAD, Revit et SolidWorks (versions 64 bits). La version CAD facilite le traitement et l'édition de PDF 2D et 3D grâce à une gamme complète de paramètres personnalisables. Elle introduit la possibilité d'exporter des annotations et de comparer des versions. Les utilisateurs peuvent ajouter des tampons et signatures électroniques et des fonctionnalités de sécurité intégrées aux documents. Pour la création de PDF 3D, Bluebeam CAD s'intègre également à NavisWorks Manage et NavisWorks Simulate (versions 64 bits uniquement), ainsi qu'à Sketch Pro (2013-14).
Bluebeam Revu eXtreme, la version la plus puissante du plug-in, inclut toutes les fonctionnalités de gestion, d'annotation et de traitement de documents des versions Standard et CAD, mais intègre en plus des fonctionnalités de gestion de PDF professionnelles. Elle permet aux utilisateurs d'ajouter des signets complexes, de rédiger du contenu sensible de manière permanente et de créer des formulaires PDF complexes. Cette suite complète de paramètres automatisables offre des scripts entièrement personnalisables. Elle comprend également la fonctionnalité Batch Slip Sheet, qui vous aide à créer rapidement de nouvelles versions de PDF tout en reportant les annotations, les signets et les liens des anciennes versions. Les utilisateurs de Bluebeam Revu eXtreme peuvent aussi rédiger des annotations, lier des éléments dans des documents et contrôler l'accès aux fichiers.
Toutes les versions du plug-in Bluebeam Revu facilitent la collaboration dans le cloud via Bluebeam Studio, ainsi que l'intégration à SharePoint et ProjectWise. Le logiciel fonctionne sous Windows 7/8 (systèmes 32 et 64 bits), les environnements virtuels Citrix XenApp 6.5-7.6 et XenDesktop 7-7.6 et les versions de Tablet PC de Windows 8.
Avantages
There is no PDF program out there to my knowledge that comes anywhere close to this program when it comes to the construction industry. We have been using this program for 6 years now, and the advancements the developers have made have been fantastic. All of our estimators and project managers have at least Bluebeam Revu, some have Extreme. The text recognition for creating page labels/bookmarks is fantastic (has improved greatly over time). The Sets feature is top notch as well, particularly for keeping up with jobs that have numerous revised drawing sets. The takeoff module is quite powerful, although we do not really take advantage of it's full potential as we already had an on-screen takeoff program.
Inconvénients
I honestly have not been a huge fan of the new look in the 2018 version, but that's probably just because I was used to the old look after years of use. Some of our users are overwhelmed with all of the options, buttons, and menus, but that's really just the nature of the beast with a program with so many tools.
Avantages
I can't say enough good things about this software using it in the construction industry. I have used multiple different PDF editors but nothing comes close to as how good BlueBeam is. There is not much of a learning curve and you can learn the basics very quickly. It goes about as advanced as you would need and can do almost anything.
Marking up blueprints is straightforward and easy to do. There are multiple different callout shapes and easily input the tag on it. You can have a favorite toolset on a window for the most frequently used items such as your stamp, signature, check mark, etc... Once you collaborate the blueprint you can measure dimensions, surface, and volume.
Bluebeam integrates into most other software such as browsers, Microsoft Excel, and word. It has a quick button in these programs to easily convert it into a PDF inside of Bluebeam. If it does not have integration with the software you can print something and use Bluebeam as a printer to convert it into a PDF inside Bluebeam. You can even set spaces and do punch lists as well.
Everyone I work with loves with the product and nobody has a bad thing to say about it.
Inconvénients
The only complaint I have been able to come up with but I'm sure it is user error is that my customized toolbar keeps reverting back to the default. I have locked the toolbar and messed with it but randomly every now goes back. I am unsure why this happens and is pretty frustrating when it does. Other than this no complaints.
Like I said, I could not function on a daily basis without the use of Bluebeam. I have been a daily user for just about 3 years now and I couldn't say enough good things about this software solution and I know it isn't just the Construction Industry that utilizes this software. Anyone can!! Highly Recommend!!
Avantages
Bluebeam is not only a construction industry standard now, it is a necessity!! I use this software on a daily basis and could not function without it. Some people look at it as a replacement for Adobe Acrobat as just a simple PDF viewer but it is so much more than that. I use it to dimension drawings with it's calibration tool, you can extract specific pages from large document packages mark them up and send them out, their OCR feature is something that I know our Project Engineers and Project Managers use all the time as well and that is just a start of what it can do. Highly recommend!! Worth every penny!!
Inconvénients
The cons is simply that there is a learning curve to know how to utilize all of the features it offers. I still learn something new everyday and I have been using it for 2-3 years now. They have great training videos on the website that walk you through Beginner/Intermediate/Advanced features that I would highly recommend.
It makes checking drawings and communicating changes a lot easier. The markup tools are much better than any other similar software I've tried.
Avantages
I'm constantly amazed by how many features bluebeam has packed in.
The markup tools themselves have a lot flexibility. Being able to scale drawings and generate dimensions and areas is a huge plus. Creating new elements and adding them to your tool chest for future use is also a nice feature to have.
The OCR tools are fantastic helping us create bookmarks and labels to navigate large PDFs. We also routinely use the hyperlink tool to create linkable details that make navigating a large drawing set even easier. (I believe this feature is available only in the "Extreme" version). There is also an option to take two versions of a document and compare changes between two versions.
Beyond that being able to use blue beam sessions to collaborate with your project team on common markups is a great bonus.
Inconvénients
I would really like the software to have the ability to create preset profiles that automatically set defaults for markup styles and colors.
Overall my experience has been very good. This software basically adds a lot of technical components for PDFs. For example, if you want to sign off on documents, or stamp them with approvals, you can do that easily through Bluebeam.
Avantages
The number of functions and versatility of Bluebeam is very good. For my engineering job, Bluebeam is a godsend to be able to mark up documents, sign drawings, flatten documents, import/export other files, etc, etc, etc. I used to use Adobe, but functionality-wise, it is no comparison. If you are going to be working with a lot of PDF's and need technical functions, I think Bluebeam is the way to go.
Inconvénients
I just switched to Bluebeam 2018 from 2016 and there seems to be some bugs. It crashed on me today which it never crashed on me in 2016. I'm hoping an updated can get 2018 working as smoothly as 2016.
Besides that, the only thing that I didn't like is that just like with other complex softwares, there are so many functions that it is easy for one to feel overwhelmed by the software. There is a learning curve but after repeated use you can't go back.

Bluebeam compliments our takeoff program very well. It is very useful for generating individual files out of a large set that are uniquely named by the drawing number and name (or however you wish to name them), which then allows me to import those files into the program without the need for manually typing in the descriptions. Saves an inordinate amount of time at the start of a takeoff for each job.
