"Bluebeam Review"
5/5
What do you like best about Bluebeam?

It help for me to comments and review the drawings. The upside of Bluebeam is the easy to use and review the drawings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bluebeam?

The least helpful of Bluebeam is the editing the drawings is not that easy. The downside is need to add more features to edit the drawings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best PDF Viewer out there!"
5/5
What do you like best about Bluebeam?

in one word - Versatility. Bluebeam allows you to do so much more when compared to other programs such as Foxit or Adobe. To be honest, it does take a bit of getting used to but once you have a grasp on how it works, it is absolutely amazing. Additionally, I love the studio collaboration aspect. It blew my mind the first time I used it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bluebeam?

It is really hard to find something to dislike about it. If I had to name one thing, it is that it sometimes takes way too long to flatten and in turn, print pages. Other than that I have zero complaints. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Mostly Great"
4/5
What do you like best about Bluebeam?

I can calculate square footage right in the PDF so easily! I'm not an engineer/designer, so I don't have CAD or Revit to find that information out, and it's really helpful in my role. I also appreciate that I can easily add a PNG file of someone's signature directly into a form, where I want it and what size. With Acrobat, I used to have to add it as a watermark, change the X and Y coordinates on the page to get it where I wanted, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bluebeam?

For some reason, I can't easily grab the top toolbar to move the window around on my monitor. I often find it frustrating how the side toolbars will open and stay open, using up precious screen space, until I close them. I have some minor trouble with the scrolling versus grab-hand as well....but they're all pretty minor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Powerful Tool for the Construction Industry"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Bluebeam?

I use it almost everyday. For construction, Bluebeam can embed a diagram or photo into an RFI, it can help do take-offs for estimating, and developers / GC's can use their website (Studio) to host multiple users to review and mark up plans. There are too many features to write about in this review. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bluebeam?

In the past modifications made in Bluebeam were not always visible by clients using acrobat, but not sure if this is still the case. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
