Bluebeam Releases version 5.5
Improving the way you work with PDF

Bluebeam PDF Revu version 5.5 was released on July 17 and is being hailed as Bluebeam's best version yet. With a focus on usability, version 5.5 now includes PDF text editing, faster speed, advanced viewing capabilities and so much more. Bluebeam is making it easier than ever to work and share information with PDF.

Text Editing

Bluebeam's new suite of advanced text editing tools takes a giant leap towards standardizing business communications in PDF and making PDF editing as simple as word processing applications. After countless customer requests, Bluebeam added built-in PDF text editing tools. Text editing allows users to add, delete and modify text in the PDF content stream for permanent text changes. For proofreading contracts and documents, Bluebeam added text reviewing tools that add common markups to a PDF document, such as underlines, strikethroughs and text inserts.

MultiView™ and Dynamic Default™

With the release of 5.5, Bluebeam introduces MultiView and Dynamic Default, proprietary technology for faster PDF rendering, navigation, and markup. MultiView allows users to view up to 16 PDF documents simultaneously. This is particularly effective for comparing revisions of documents or architectural designs. In addition, users have the option of panning and zooming documents in unison. Dynamic Default adds an automatic 'memory' feature to Revu. Dynamic Default technology automatically remembers settings such as color, font and line thickness, when adding markups to PDF documents, making the process more intuitive.

64-bit Compatibility

Bluebeam PDF Revu 5.5 offers a 64-bit compatible version that can be installed in 64-bit versions of Windows® XP and Windows Vista. The 64-bit version of Bluebeam PDF Revu CAD Edition includes plugs-ins that integrate with 64-bit versions of AutoCAD® 2008 and SolidWorks® 2006-2007. Available through a separate download, this version is appropriate only for users with 64-bit operating systems.
