This year we’re doing something very cool to celebrate the launch of Revu 10…we’re bringing Revu to you! You and your project partners could be among the first to see Revu 10’s new features in the comfort of your very own office. It’s just our way of saying “thanks” for all your support as we release this milestone product which is packed with some very cool features.
Are you ready to bring Revu to you? Find out how you can apply for this fun preview event here.
The ball has dropped, confetti has landed and 2012 is here! Bluebeam continued our annual tradition of celebrating the New Year together by watching the Rose Parade. Lucky us – our Pasadena, CA headquarters are conveniently located on the parade route, and we have a balcony! Here are some photos of our favorite floats and bands:
The China Airlines float celebrated the beginning of the year of the Dragon (well, almost – Chinese New Year begins later this month.)
The Natural History Museum of Los Angeles’ float celebrated its new dinosaur exhibit!
This “If Pigs Could Fly” float reminded me of Angry Birds!
We love the Nordics, so we definitely loved that the Royal Swedish Navy Cadet Band made an appearance in this year’s parade.
Aloha from the City of Downey!
Happy New Year, and remember to keep on PDFin’!

This year’s Autodesk University was held at the Sands Expo Center in Las Vegas. The feedback from many attendees was that this year’s show was more exciting than ever, and we were thrilled to be a part of it.
Many of our users stopped by to tell us how Bluebeam PDF Revu makes their lives easier, and offered suggestions for future releases. Users-to-be learned more about why Bluebeam PDF Revu stands out among the competition.
With such a diverse group around us, it was a great opportunity to hold a special Faces of Revu photo event on Wednesday night, during AUGI’s annual Beer Bust. All attendees were welcome to take a self-portrait keepsake, while we invited devoted Bluebeam fans to enter the campaign.
Check out these photos from our booth:

Team Bluebeam!
We also got to have a little fun in the Creative Studio, making marshmallow guns!
Thank you to everyone who came by. We hope you had as much fun as we did. And remember, to keep on PDFin’!

It’s time to celebrate! Last night in Hollywood, CA Bluebeam won two PRism Awards from the Public Relations Society of America, Los Angeles Chapter.

We were honored in the New Product/Service Launch – Business to Business category for creating an exciting Revu 9 and Revu eXtreme launch campaign, which included edgy-looking advertisements that honed in on the “eXtreme” nature of Revu, a launch event at ConExpo and editorial coverage in major design and construction publications. Bluebeam also won in the Brochure category for our unique CD wallet/brochure booklet.

Last Wednesday, September 14th, we attended the Constructech Vision Awards with McCarthy Building Companies at Drury Lane in Oakbrook Terrace, IL. And, we’re happy to report that we came out winners!
The Constructech Vision Awards ‘honor companies that have realized the advantages of applying innovative technologies to their everyday businesses as well as the technology enablers that have helped them achieve their goal.’ McCarthy and Bluebeam were up for an award in the Builder/GC Commercial +$500 million category. The award entry focused on how project record drawings can be updated, maintained and distributed electronically in PDF in lieu of traditional hand posting methods, which are labor intensive, inefficient and difficult to duplicate. McCarthy used Revu to hyperlink PDF documents for better access to information such as drawing details, specifications and RFIs. Well, McCarthy’s efforts (and Bluebeam’s technology) paid off, because we tied for Gold – the highest achievable honor!

Last month during the 2011 Tekla User Meeting, Patrick, our Product Manager, met one of our users Doug, a Steel Detailer. Interestingly enough, Doug also happens to be an amateur rally racer. For those of you who don’t know, Bluebeam has been a big supporter of rally racing since the beginning of 2010. In fact, we have our very own Bluebeam Rally Team. Doug knew about our involvement in rally, and asked if we’d like to support him in his next race. Of course, our answer was “YES!”
On Monday, September 5th, Doug got behind the wheel of his 89 BMW 325i (of course outfitted in some cool Bluebeam Rally decals!) for the Ozark Mountain Region Sport Car Club of America (OMR SCCA) Labor Day RallyCross Race. Doug ended up finishing first in his class, and we couldn’t be more excited for him!
Here are some pictures that Doug sent us from his race:

It’s Favorite Feature Friday, and today we’re celebrating Bluebeam’s new 3D viewing capabilities included in all editions of Bluebeam PDF Revu 9 – Standard, CAD and eXtreme. Don’t Leah and Helen look great?!
Bluebeam's 3D models.
In Revu, once you open a PDF file with 3D content, a floating toolbar called the 3D Hover Bar will appear in the upper left-hand corner of the workspace. This toolbar lets you customize your interaction with the 3D model.
From the toolbar you can select different viewing modes such as rotate, spin, pan, zoom and camera. You can also change perspectives, views, lighting, background colors and render modes. Cutting-edge animation features even allow you to cycle through all 3D views contained in a PDF… no glasses required.
Learn more about Revu’s 3D viewing capabilities here, and remember to keep on PDFin’!
