Consider a scenario where you're attending a meeting with your team to discuss a project, review multiple PDF plans, and try to keep track of everyone's ideas and comments. Your all team members are trying to communicate different project aspects and urgencies. It's obvious to get lost in the conversation. Because the PDF you're reviewing is cluttered with different notes and markups, it's hard to tell who denoted or propagated what. This is where Bluebeam Revu comes in.
Bluebeam Revu, a market-leading PDF editor and collaboration tool allows you to mark up your PDFs with annotations and comments. These markups are not part of the underlying content, which means they can be moved and edited with ease. Markups are a game-changer for collaborating on projects and saving time and costs. They provide a method for annotating your PDF, enhancing your communication, and saving you time. Revu conveniently tracks all markup activity with all crucial details in the Markups List.
In this step-by-step guide, we will show you how to edit PDF markups in Bluebeam Revu and track changes in the markups list. So, let's get started!
