Special PDF editing interface

Profiles

Bluebeam comes with several predefined profile settings to make it easy to switch your interface between different views.

Product Reviews

PDF markup tools used by McGraw Hill Construction ENR Cover Story

- Bluebeam for Punch

In this video created by McGraw Hill Construction, Zachry Construction project team members explain how they use Bluebeam's PDF markup tools, tablet PC compatibility and real-time collaboration feature, Bluebeam Studio™, to quickly punch floors and instantly create punchlists.

"There are a lot of things that Bluebeam has done that are specifically tailored to the Tablet PC user. From a built-in TIP, to searching ink in the PDF, to a high quality zooming and panning function. The best one, in my opinion, the ability to store ink components in a tool set and re-use them later in other PDF documents. For people who mark up a lot of documents or use specialized editing symbols, that is a killer function."
