In this video, Jim answers the question of what happened to Bluebeam Vu, which was the read-only version of Bluebeam that was free. Jim explains that now there is just one product called Bluebeam Revu that now has a markup mode and view only mode that can be used for free.
- [Jim] Hi, Jim Rogers here.…And this week's Bluebeam trick is how…to use Bluebeam for free.…Now, don't get too excited.…You're not gonna be able to use Bluebeam Revu…for free, beyond the trial period anyway,…but there used to be a program called Bluebeam Vu…that was free, and allowed you to have a lot…of the same functionality and user interface…when working with PDFs, or large format PDFs…like construction drawings.…But it didn't cost anything,…and it was called Bluebeam Vu.…
If you click here under solutions, you'll see…browse by product, it doesn't exist anymore.…The only thing they have is Revu,…Revu for Mac and Revu for iPad.…Now, this might come as a shock to some people…because many people used Bluebeam Vu in their office…for users who didn't need the full markup functionality…that's available in Revu.…And Bluebeam Vu was also the product…that somebody could install and have all…of the functionality and markup features…when they were working on a collaborative document…inside of a Bluebeam Studio session.…
