Bluebeam Software Inc. (Pasadena, CA) is now offering Bluebeam PDF Revu 5.5. The latest version has new technology that simplifies PDF creation, enables PDF text editing, and improves PDF markup.

According to President and CEO Richard Lee, “As Bluebeam continues to develop innovative PDF application tools, our customers are discovering the power of PDF in an electronic workflow. With each new release, Bluebeam makes it easier to work natively in PDF.”

Built-in PDF text editing tools allow the user to add, delete, and modify text in the PDF content stream for permanent text changes, while text-reviewing tools mark PDF documents with common proofreading annotations.

This release also introduces MultiView, which displays multiple PDF documents at once and allows for panning and zooming in unison, and Dynamic Default, technology that automatically remembers settings such as color, font, and line thickness for PDF markup.

Bluebeam PDF Revu 5.5 is compatible with 64-bit versions of Windows XP and Vista, as well as AutoCAD 2008 and SolidWorks 2006-2007 through Bluebeam PDF Revu CAD Edition. For more info, go to  bluebeam.com.
