Bluebeam Releases Bluebeam PDF Revu 7.0 for PDF Markup and Editing

PDF editor reduces paper usage and distribution with over 20 new features
PASADENA, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
Bluebeam Software, a leader in innovative PDF solutions, announced today the
release of Bluebeam PDF Revu 7.0, the latest version of Bluebeam`s professional
and affordable PDF solution. Bluebeam continues its quest to improve PDF
creation, markup and editing and reduce excessive paper consumption in the
Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry and business community
at large.

Flexible Options for PDF Creation

Bluebeam simplified PDF creation with plug-ins for Microsoft® Office, AutoCAD®
and SolidWorks® applications and its PDF printer to convert to PDF from any
Windows file. Revu 7.0 takes PDF creation further with Batch for Office, Scan to
PDF, and native image conversion. Batch for Office allows users to quickly
create PDFs from Word, Excel and PowerPoint files in just a few clicks while
Scan to PDF and native image conversion eliminate unnecessary steps when
converting various images.

Faster Document Review

In addition, Bluebeam added spell check and PDF flags to make it easier to
review PDF documents. Spell check identifies and suggests changes for misspelled
words found in markups, form fields and PDF content. Further, dictionaries can
be imported to use with spell check for languages other than English. Bluebeam`s
exclusive PDF flag serves as a virtual sticky flag, placing visual markers on
PDFs to designate signature lines or other important content.

More Markup Tools for AEC

Bluebeam continues to focus on the AEC industry with the development of hatch
patterns, arcs and curve markups, and improved stamp options. Users can select
from a list of hatch patterns included in Revu to fill in markups or takeoffs,
create and save custom hatches, and import AutoCAD .pat files into Revu. Plus,
AEC professionals can now redline PDF drawings with the arc tool and create
custom text stamps with the revised stamp editor. The measurement tool also
incorporates curves technology for more accurate area, perimeter and volume
calculations.

Better PDF Distribution

Finally, Bluebeam PDF Revu 7.0 provides new file sharing options to
significantly reduce the need to print and ship documents. The Reduce File Size
feature gives users more control over PDF compression by estimating the new file
size and including an interface to adjust settings such as PDF version, image
resolution and embedded fonts. Additionally, Bluebeam now supports PDF packages
for organizing multiple files and file types into a single package for archiving
or delivering documents to clients. Quick Security uses security profiles to
secure sensitive documents with one click while a new batch security feature
allows users to apply security to multiple PDFs simultaneously.

"In order to be more competitive, business leaders require solutions that make
their firms more efficient and sustainable," said Richard Lee, President and CEO
of Bluebeam Software. "Each new feature in 7.0 is designed to do just that -
enable our customers to achieve real results - reduce printing and shipping
costs by up to 80% and increase productivity by up to 60%."
