Bluebeam Releases version 5.5.2

Bluebeam PDF Revu version 5.5.2 was released on September 7th. This minor update improved on current features and added batch printing, PDF layers, and a snapshot tool to copy and paste text and vector data from PDFs. Read below for more information on each new feature and how to upgrade.


Batch Printing

Printing long reports and documents just got faster. Bluebeam's new batch printing capabilities allow you to print hard copies of multiple PDF files in a batch. A highly requested feature, batch printing includes smart options to configure print settings to adjust the order in which files print, page range, scaling, page size and orientation.

Click the Add Files button in the Print Dialog to choose the PDF files you wish to print in the batch.
PDF Layers

Bluebeam Revu now supports PDF layers. View complex drawings and diagrams more easily by turning layers on and off. Bluebeam Revu also allows you to add layers to an existing PDF and create a layered PDF out of multiple files.

Copy and Paste Raster and Vector Data

Bluebeam Copy Image tool has been revamped into the Snapshot tool. You can now copy raster and vector images from a PDF and paste into any PDF file while maintaining vector data. This allows you to paste the data in a cleaner, clearer annotation that maintains image quality when resized. Select the Snapshot tool and drag out a rectangle to copy an area in a PDF, or click multiple points around an area to copy and paste images of any shape or size.

Version 5.5.2 is an improvement on new features included in August's version 5.5 release. Click here to find out more about new features added in version 5.5.
