TechnoLawyer Bluebeam featured in TechnoLawyer NewsWire "Bluebeam designed its new version 5 with lawyers in mind. For example, litigators can apply Bates stamps. You can standardize Bates stamping in your firm by creating Bates stamp templates with a prefix, suffix, and any number of digits. With Bluebeam PDF Revu 5, you can also permanently redact text or images. The redaction tool doesn't cover the information. Instead, it actually removes it from the file."

GottaBeMobile.com Gottabemobile.com's Rob Bushway Encourages Tablet PC users to try Bluebeam Revu "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." said Rob Bushway of tablet PC website, GottaBeMobile.com. "If you spend a lot of time in PDFs working with large documents, using the same type of mark-up symbols over and over again, zooming in and out frequently, then you need to take a serious look at Bluebeam." In addition, Bushway also posted a pre-recorded demo, call an "inkshow" of Bluebeam Revu's tablet PC capabilities. Click here to read the entire article, and view the inkshow

upFront.eZine Five Minutes with Bluebeam [out-PDF'ing Adobe] The height of the Internet bubble coincided with a large number of companies writing software to output CAD drawings in PostScript format. As Adobe moved into the CAD market with Acrobat 6, imagine our surprise in learning that some CAD-PDF vendors are more than just surviving. One of them is Bluebeam, who, as we spoke with them last week, were close to moving into larger offices. "How," we asked, "were you able to survive in this market?" We understand the CAD market, was the message CEO Richard Lee repeated several times during the interview. And primarily focused on the architect and the AEC market.

AUGIWorld AUGIWorld Best of 2004 Selected as one of the best third-party applications choices by AUGIWorld readers.

Desktop Engineering Magazine Pick of the Week "Whether you like it or not, you have to share what you're doing with some hard to please boss or exacting client. To collaborate with such folks you often re-purpose--as the MBAs say--an application built for office workers. This works, but it usually means fiddling, false starts, boot-ups, drag-ins, do-overs, and lots of muttering. Bluebeam Software built Bluebeam Pushbutton Plus for design engineers. With a click this tool automatically converts MCAD files--and, yes, your re-purposed MS Office files--into a variety of dummy-accessible formats, such as PDF and TIF, that you can share with anybody. You can even FTP files automatically as well as password-protect your converted file."

Autodesk Bluebeam Software Partners with Autodesk Autodesk® Inc., the world’s leading design software and digital content company, is working with Bluebeam Software to provide additional file sharing options to designers and engineers that use AutoCAD® software, the most widely-used design software in the world.

Cadalyst Magazine Mars: Fourth Planet from the Sun To shave time and ensure quality, Lindenfeld's team took a paperless approach to design and manufacture. Through the visualization power of SolidWorks and eDrawings, engineers manipulated the five-degrees-of-freedom robotic arm in 3D and performed real-time analysis with COSMOSWorks. Key drawings were saved to Bluebeam Pushbutton PDF for use on the shop floor. Bluebeam PDFs had all the advantages of paper 2D drawings that fabricators work from, with the added advantage of embedded model information.

Architectural Record Magazine Tools for Managing, Learning, Designing This plug-in for AutoCAD allows users to save their design drawings as PDF files.
