Turns out they decided to revamp the UI with almost 0 feature inclusions. Anyway, when bluebeam for mac 2.0 came out, we bought in thinking that we'd be getting all of the features that we were missing along with performance improvements. What's more we really felt the lack of some features from the windows side, many of which were so basic that it's laughable that Bluebeam decided not to invest in them. considering that we regularly deal with 100+ page architectural sets, this made the program worthless in a lot of cases. It took several seconds to render every page. It became clear within the first week of using the software, though, that it was incredibly slow. I went ahead and gave the presentation anyway, though and with some convincing, we bought seats for everyone. Playing with the trial version of 1.0, though, I quickly realized that a ton of features were absent from the windows version. I even gave a lunchtime presentation to show everyone some of the really powerful features I had come to know and love from the windows side. The last 3 are at my most recent job, and when I found out that Bluebeam had created a Revu for Mac, I was quick to push our company to adopt. I've been using Revu for about 8 years, 5 of those on Windows. It has given them a sense of invincibility that has led to stagnation and a lack of genuine support for their customers. I wish there was another one out there so that these guys didn't have a monopoly on the market. To my knowledge, no other PDF software is geared towards the A+E market. Untrustworthy Developer - Dropped the ballīrings a lot of features and functionality missing from Acrobat. But well worth it if you use this program on a daily basis. It is a little pricey, little higher than competitors. Probably my biggest con for Bluebeam is the cost of the software. I thought that was absolutely incredible with the quick turnaround on my Bluebeam license. I contacted customer support and within a few hours, they unlocked my account for me to register on my new laptop. I had a laptop die on me and it locked out my bluebeam account. One very big pro about Bluebeam is the customer service. So many functions that are pertinent to the construction industry that I can use on a daily basis from viewing files to doing quick measurements to editing files to combining or converting to and from PDF files. Once you learn the basics, this program is so simple to do quick field measurements, combine/edit files, markup pdf's, extract pages to separate files and so many more functions that I have still to learn. Never looked back or started looking for another program. Overall, great experience with Bluebeam Revu.
