Bluebeam - Web Development
I started out my career as a Technical Writer at Bluebeam, and after learning web development skills, became a Web Content Developer. I'm essentially a hybrid writer and front-end web developer, focused on improving and maintaining the Bluebeam Support knowledgebase.
My writing experience and accomplishments include:
- Many support articles for the Revu software in how-to and troubleshooting formats.
- Writing a style guide for the documentation team.
- Writing Tips and Tricks articles for the Bluebeam newsletter. These articles were routinely the most popular links in the email.
- The Revu Starter Kit, a collection of resources intended for new users of Revu. I played a key role in writing and editing this page, along with two other members of a UX team. I was also responsible for developing this page.
- Editing long-form IT administrator guides.
- Copywriting.
- Editing.

Bluebeam - Technical Writing
Bluebeam offers the following licensing models for Revu. A Perpetual License registers Revu to an individual workstation using a serial number and product key. A Maintenance subscription is optional with every purchase of Revu, providing a free upgrade and access to premium technical support. After a one-time purchase, a perpetual license will never expire.
Bluebeam Revu is designed for viewing multiple large format drawings easily and efficiently. Revu contains many intuitive features that allow you to easily zoom, pan and view multiple pages of your PDF file. A popular viewing feature within Revu is Split View.
The name of the PDF file is truncated or cut off when printing to the Bluebeam PDF printer.
If you need to look up the current status of Bluebeam's services - including Studio U.S., Studio U.K., and Licensing - you can view the Bluebeam® Cloud Services Status Page. The status page will update if anything changes.
The MultiView feature in Revu makes it easy to compare multiple documents or versions of a document at the same time.
We're here to help you get started with Bluebeam Revu. First things first, make sure Revu is installed on your computer. Check out our step-by-step installation guide.

Revu has a streamlined interface to improve the way you work with your PDFs. This update also changes the way you collaborate with other Revu users in Studio Projects.
Just like a legend on a map, Legends quickly explain what the symbols on a drawing represent. They can also be customized to show important information about the markups in a document.
Vu has been deprecated as a standalone product. Its functionality is now available in Revu using View mode. Instead of downloading Vu, download Revu and click Use as Trial when prompted to register your software.
