Hi everyone!

This month, we’re flipping the script. Bluebeam Revu is known for construction, design, and document workflows, but what about all the other ways you use it?

Welcome to Revu Remix, where we want to see the creative, unconventional, and totally unexpected ways you’ve used Revu. Maybe you planned your kitchen remodel with markups, designed a wedding layout, built a fantasy football bracket, or just found a clever personal use that makes life easier.

If you've ever used Revu beyond the typical workflow, now’s the time to show it off!

🏅 Recognition 📈

I use Bluebeam for my classroom whiteboard while I teach. I work out the problems in class with the students, and when the class is over the file is posted for anyone that missed the session. I have a touch screen laptop with a stylus, and pair it with a second computer to run a power point presentation, and moderate the virtual meeting.

I used it to design a wall of photos where the picture frames were all different sizes - moving the frames around until we got the right configuration and spacings. Unfortunately, I can't find the file now!

Inspired by an activity in a BUG meeting, I use it to do competitive or collaborative word search puzzles with my kids. Each person picks their mark up color. Then we all try to find all the words in the word search.

The coolest use case for Revu that I've heard of is not mine.
I in no way take credit for this, but its too good not to share.

The person who used this was going through his son's Lego sets and was noticing missing pieces.
He found the PDF Instructions and then created custom tools for each of the various Lego pieces.
With some simple markups, he was able to figure out which pieces were missing from which set, and was then able to order the missing pieces from Lego.

I used Bluebeam on the iPad for a research project years back. We wanted to see how our current office space was being used to help plan for different types of spaces at our new office.

I took employee photos and placed them in a toolset (each one included additional information like their title and market sector they worked in). Then, I had a PDF of the current office floor plan, and several times a day, I would place the photos of the person where they were.

I used Status to indicate if they were working digitally or analog. And if it was anything of note, I used Capture to take a photo.

Since everything was date/time stamped, I was able to export to a .csv file and create a heat map of where our staff tends to migrate and how that typically changes throughout the day!

(I actually presented this at CHI BUG a few years ago 😉)

I used BB to build and track my March Madness tournament bracket.

It also makes good memes. When we got a new fridge in the office, I put one together to announce the ice maker was ready for use, after its 24 hr initial cleaning period. It was cold and snowing here that day….

These are all great! 😄

I finally have one as of a couple days ago— I used Revu to mark up some PDF sheet music! 🎼 Sometimes I like to make revisions to arrangements or highlight areas of interest. It's really nice to be able to remove annotations when I don't need them anymore, too, and it looks a lot better than scribbles.

I was once getting a spam email that was written in Russian, and I couldn't figure out where the Unsubscribe link was… then I remembered that Revu has a Translate Markups feature.
I printed the the email to PDF, ran the Translate Markups function and was able to find the Unsubscribe link.

I've used this feature twice, once for this and once for translating a set of plans that was written in Mandarin.
It's not one of those features you use everyday, but its handy to have.

I wish I had some good stories, but I think mine are coming in a couple months. I'm about to start teaching electric apprenticeship classes for my company's new apprenticeship program, and just started brainstorming ways to integrate Bluebeam in my teaching. You have all given me great ideas. Thanks for sharing, and thanks for the great discussion prompt.

I also use BB to clean up sheet music. I add hyperlinks at repeats, coda, etc to jump quickly to different sections, add chords. Makes it easy to play off a tablet and navigate around.
