Bluebeam Compatibility and System Requirements

Operating Systems

  1. Windows 11 (64-bit)
  2. Windows 10 (64-bit)
As part of the installation, the Microsoft .NET Framework 4.8 will be installed if .NET 4.8 or higher does not already exist on the workstation.
Windows 10 machines must have the Windows 10 Anniversary update or newer in order to install .NET Framework 4.8. For more information, please refer to the Microsoft website.

Virtual Environments

Revu 21 is compatible with Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 2203 LTSR.
Revu 21 uses a subscription-based model that requires a named-user license. This type of license allows users to sign in to several devices simultaneously, which may not be suitable for non-persistent environments at this time.

Bluebeam Revu supports TrueType (.ttf) and OpenType (.otf) fonts only.


PDF/A Support

Bluebeam Revu supports creating files that are PDF/A-1b compliant according to ISO standards.

  3. A display driver supporting either OpenGL® 3.2 (or above) or OpenGL® ES 3.0 (or above) is required.
Processor
  1. Desktops and laptops: 1 GHz processor or equivalent (recommended, see below)

Using Revu with typical office documents

When using Revu for general office applications, a mid-range computer that meets the above requirements may be used.

Using Revu with large sets of engineering documents

When working with large drawing sets (for example, construction project bid sets) in which the PDFs may contain hundreds of large format drawings, it is recommended that workstations have adequate memory and processor resources. A recommended hardware configuration would be an Intel i5 Dual Core or better processor and at least 8 GB of RAM. Revu can run on systems with lower specifications; however, a workstation with these specifications will provide the optimal performance.

Using Revu for OCR

OCR is included with all Revu subscription plans (Basics, Core, and Complete).
