Bluebeam announced the release of Revu 11.5. The new version includes a camera tool that allows users to add image annotations to PDFs directly from the field using a tablet PC's built-in camera hardware.
Touch and pen input options enable Windows 8 tablets to pan and zoom while making annotations with a stylus. LinkSaver automatically preserves all relative hyperlinks when combining and separating linked PDFs.
Other improvements include the ability to view the revision history of project files and restore any previous version of a document. Full Control permission now includes all Project Host capabilities, including the power to delete a project.
Users can search for local project documents by filename, and remove sessions or projects from the Attended list by right-clicking and selecting "Remove From List." Hovering over a checked-out project file displays the ID of the user who checked out the file, and users can see real-time progress updates when finalizing a Studio Session, with improved error handling.
