We know where you're coming from and we can certainly help.


Here's our advice:

  1. Of course, become familiar with the Bluebeam Revu interface by going here and clicking on the "Getting Started" topic in the upper left corner of the videos. You should see a few videos about Navigation and other basic application features. It's best to watch those first.
  2. Then, please review the video entitled "PDF Markup"
  3. Since you're used to traditional markups/redlines, the markups we recommend starting to practice with are the Callout Tool, the Cloud+ Tool, the Text Box tool, the Flag Tool (Windows), the Highlighter Tool, the Line Tool, and the Arrow Tool.
  4. When crossing out drawing elements on a PDF, as you may have previously done by drawing a large X with a red pen over those elements, we recommend using a single thick line on a diagonal. This will create a single markup for the recipient to address.
