Feedback regarding Mac support.
I've combined the different Mac support requests/feedback posts into one for easier navigation.
Thanks @Marco M - next order of business - a full-featured Mac version of Revu! 😀
There are several Directors at Denver Water that currently use MacBooks. They are unable to participate in Studio Sessions or edit PDFs since the software has been discontinued for Apple. Adobe Acrobat is also being discontinued. Is an alternative option being considered? Will it ever be developed again? Does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you.
Have they tried Bluebeam Cloud? Limited markup ability but better than nothing. Does it work with Macs?
I have to suggest using Parallels on your Macbooks - and running Revu that way. I don't use Studio but Revu works very well on my Macbook Air using Parallels.
I'd MUCH rather have a native Mac version, don't get me wrong. Good luck!
New Mac user as of Nov 2024, but have been using BB for over 10years - now come to find out I can't use with a MacBook? Extremely frustrating!! Tried the online cloud version and that's a joke!! I need ability to mark up and sketch on top of pdfs as an architect. Again as others have stated, would be willing to purchase software, but nothing available.
I know I am repeating myself, but Revu 21 via Parallels works great on my Macbook. I will continue to hope for a full-featured Mac version though!
There is a BLUEBEAM STAFF comment in this thread
The future of Revu for iOS — Bluebeam Community
…confirming Revu for iOS sunsets in 2025…
Our company has been using PCs for decades, but the writing is on the wall. The latest MacBook Pro M4 laptops are just a better all-around offering and x86 will not catchup anytime soon (5+ years). I think you will see more and more engineering and technical companies realize this soon, particularly if they are doing graphical work. We can operate everything in our organization on MacOS with one glaring exception, Bluebeam Revu. Please prioritize MacOS before some other upstart software company does. BTW, not the cloud garbage (ask Adobe how that is going), I am talking full feature Bluebeam. We will happily be a beta tester.
I was a beta tester for earlier versions of Revu for Mac. I echo Sam's comments above and would also happily be a beta tester for furture Mac versious!
Please add the ability to allow some users to edit/delete other peoples comments. This can be controlled through permissions. At our organisation when reviewing drawings there is a review manager that consolidates comments before sending them back. This process occurs regardless of if we are using Bluebeam or another tool.…
Add folders for studio sessions to organize the list of recent Studio sessions. Some of our clients utilize one Studio session per deliverable on large projects that have multiple reviewers. It can be quite a task to find the one studio session for a smaller project amidst the rows and rows of studio sessions per…
With more people using bluebeam as a CAD/drawing program. It would be nice if bullet points/numbers points with auto text indent was a feature.
It would be helpful to have an autosave function for PDFs being used in Revu. Currently this does not exist and would be very beneficial.
It would be great be able to see to whom and when the "alert attendee" has been done. Today you can see exactly who and when markups has been accepted but there are no info at all if a markup has been alerted to someone.
It would be a huge time saver to have keyboard shortcuts for assigning markup statuses. Numerous workflows (e.g. QA/QC and design reviews, punch/back-check) involve multiple status changes for markups, and often times there are multiple statuses (or state models) to choose from. On large projects, with 100's if not 1,000's…
This has been requested many many times in the past by many Revu users. WHY is there STILL no numbered/bulleted list function??
