Bluebeam PDF Revu Silent Install
This document describes the steps required for performing a silent installation of Bluebeam PDF Revu. The procedures
defined in this document can be used in order to perform remote and automated installations for the Bluebeam Suite
of products. The steps below need to be run as Administrator. This procedure has been tested in the Windows 2000,
Windows XP and Windows Vista environments. The target computers should have access to the Internet to complete the automated
authorization process.
Before the Bluebeam Software can be deployed, the Windows installer version 3.1 and Microsoft .NET Framework version
2.0 need to reside on the target computer. Step 2 and Step 3 below provide instructions for running these installs.
The version 6.0.1 netdeploy installation file for 32-bit versions of Windows can be downloaded from
http://www.pdfdesktop.com/downloads/601b/BBPDFRevu601NetDeploy.zip
Step #1). Setup
It is suggested that you copy the files from this CD to a location where the below programs can be accessed by the
deployment software. For the purpose of this example, we will place these files on an example network drive:
g:\bb
Step #2). Run the Windows 3.1 Installer
Included on the Network Deploy CD/download is the Windows Install 3.1 executable
"WindowsInstaller-KB893803-v2-x86.exe"
Issue the following command:
WindowsInstaller-KB893803-v2-x86.exe /help
to see the options available options for executing. In order to perform a silent install, it is recommended that you
run the installation the installer using the following command:
WindowsInstaller-KB893803-v2-x86.exe /quiet
You can force a reboot after the install is completed by using the following command line:
WindowsInstaller-KB893803-v2-x86.exe /quiet /forcerestart
Step #3). Install the Microsoft .NET Framework
A prerequisite for Bluebeam PDF Revu is that the Microsoft .NET Framework, version 2.0 be installed on the target
computer. The CD contains the Microsoft .NET re-distributable package (dotnetfx.exe). You can run this program in a
silent manner using the following method.
Command: dotnetfx.exe
Parameters: /q /c:"install /q"
Example command line: G:\bb\dotnetfx.exe /q /c:"install /q"
Step #4). Install Bluebeam PDF Revu Application
There are several parameters that can optionally be configured:
-
SN - Indicate the Serial Number to use for rolling out the software. This parameter should be used with
the PK parameter
-
PK - Product Key to use for Rolling out the software. This parameter should be used with the SN
parameter.
-
PS - Page Size parameter to is for the default. Valid options are "A4" and "Letter"
-
NC - Network configuration path. Setting this option enables centralizing in one network location all of
the Bluebeam settings for your company.
-
JO - Job Options path. Setting this option will replace default versions of .JobOptions files during
installation. Note that the files must not be
read-only, and must be contained in valid sub-folders (such as "Printer Driver" or "AutoCAD.Plugin"). It is
not necessary to include a complete set of files.
-
RP - Revu Preferences path. Setting this option will deploy a Revu Preferences file (exported from the
Preferences dialog). Include absolute path.
There are also several Installation flags which can optionally be set to override default behavior:
-
DEFAULTVIEWER - Set to "dvoff" to avoid setting Bluebeam PDF Revu as the default .pdf file viewer.
-
DESKSHORTCUT - Set to "0" to avoid putting a Bluebeam PDF Revu shortcut on the desktop.
-
DESKSTAPLER - Set to "1" to put a Bluebeam Stapler shortcut on the desktop.
Running the setup with the below command parameters perform a silent installation and registration of Bluebeam PDF
Revu.

Notes for organizations using SMS
-
If you are performing the install as a user different than the currently logged-in user, you may need to specify
the "runas" command as demonstrated in the below sample:
G:\bb\BbPDFRevuSetup600.exe /runas /z"/SN:{your SN} /PK:{Your PK}" /s /f1"C:\bb\setup.iss"
-
A Package Definition File has been included with the distribution. Please review the file and make any
necessary changes need for your particular organization.
Step #5). Start AutoCAD/SolidWorks on Target Workstation
To verify that the installation completed successfully, run installation as a user on the target computer. You may
see a temporary message displayed on the workstation, which says "Authorization successful" indicating that an
authorization was obtained from the Bluebeam Authorization Code servers. The installation is now complete and
successful.
