Even if you don't have the native applications necessary for Bluebeam's plug-ins to work (AutoCAD, Microsoft Office, Navisworks Manage, Navisworks Simulate, Revit, and SolidWorks), the Bluebeam PDF printer works with all Windows and CAD applications installed on your PC, much as PDF-XChange 5 Pro does. And, like PDF-XChange 5 Pro, Bluebeam creates PDFs flawlessly, without hiccups and bugs, regardless of the application you are printing from.

If you're seeking collaboration software that won't break the bank--or your team's spirit--try Bluebeam Revu. You may need some additional training to get up to speed on all the features, and the group leader may have to rein in some overly creative colleagues who enjoy scribbling digitally, but Bluebeam Revu will help you get the job done more easily and more efficiently.
