Bluebeam PDF Revu CAD Edition was designed to make your life easier with our one-button PDF creation capabilities from within your AutoCAD and SolidWorks program.

The focus of this software lies within large-format drawings making it easy to convert drawings of any size while maintaining quality and saving time. When using Bluebeam you will soon come to realize the ease of use and functionality provided with our software.

We specialize in PDF creation, conversion speed, batch capabilities and our extensive list of PDF markup and editing tools to make sure you have all the necessities to get your job done efficiently and effectively.

Bluebeam PDF Revu is intelligently designed to meet all of your PDF creation needs. Benefit from custom PDF stamps, automatic PDF bookmarking, hyperlink transfer, text searchable PDFs, and PDF security.

Bluebeam supports 10 file formats so you can convert Windows, SolidWorks files and DWG to PDF, JPEG, TIF, GIF and more.

One of our most helpful tools is Bluebeam Batch. Rather than converting your drawings one by one, Bluebeam Batch allows you to convert hundreds of DWG to PDF, and SolidWorks to PDF in a single batch, saving you time and money.

Included with the CAD to PDF creation software is Bluebeam Revu for PDF markup and editing. Bluebeam Revu is intelligently designed to be incredibly simple to use.

Within Revu, you will find an extensive list of markup tools including options to add text, symbols, stamps, images and bookmarks to customize your PDF. Enjoy the more commonly used tools such as the pen and highlighter.

Included with this helpful application is the option to save frequently used tools in "My Tools" for easy access and quick marking up. Also, each PDF created using Bluebeam follows the PDF standard and is readable from any PDF viewer accommodating you and your affiliates.

Feel free to change the size, layout and overall look and feel of your PDF with Bluebeam Revu. PDF Editing options include the ability to add blank pages, insert, extract and rotate pages as well as copy and paste true text from your PDF into Word and other MS Office files.

After installation, Bluebeam will integrate into your AutoCAD and SolidWorks programs and install four buttons at the top of your interface. The first button converts your active SolidWorks file or DWG to PDF from your interface, automatically reading your drawing settings (color, scale, line weights, paper size, etc.). Bluebeam Revu will launch your PDF and allow for markup and editing.

The Bluebeam Stapler is a stand-alone program that effortlessly binds many different types of documents. With Stapler you can combine a number of different files ranging from MS Office documents to SolidWorks and AutoCAD drawings. The Stapler allows you to either bind files to create one single PDF, or create a single PDF for each separate file.
