Some users may experience performance issues after upgrading to Revu 2018. The following are a set of potential solutions presented in order from least complicated to most complicated. Try them in order until the performance issues have been fixed. Change the Rendering Mode in Revu.
- Create
- Convert an unlimited number of Microsoft Office documents and CAD drawings into high-quality 2D or 3D PDFs, or transform scanned images into text-searchable documents.
- Mark Up
- Customizable, easy-to-use markup tools simplify communication across teams, and the powerful Markups List in Revu tracks annotations and generates reports.
- Collaborate
- Connect and collaborate with project partners worldwide in real time, or any time, with Studio Projects and Studio Sessions.
- Organize
- Make large drawing sets more manageable by creating smart documents that can be shared easily with project partners—in the office or in the field.
- Bluebeam Studio
- Document management and real-time collaboration are built right into Revu. Studio Projects give you a single centralized location to store documents—even entire building projects—in the cloud. And Studio Sessions let project teams review, mark up, modify and update the same files at the same time. So partners worldwide can instantly connect on the same set of documents.

I can't deal with Bluebeam 2018 anymore
I work in the construction industry and have been a huge supporter of bluebeam in my office. I've constantly boasted to management that we need to get more licences for users to streamline our work flow for mark-ups. I upgraded to Bluebeam 2018 from 2017, and while I did expect some problems, I didn't expect the software to be completely unusable. Here are the issues that I run into on a daily basis:
- PDF's don't Render. Just shows white pages.
- Constant freezes and crashes on a daily basis.
- When exiting a PDF, the dialog box get's hidden and I can't get out of it unless I do a save first, which sometimes I don't want.
- Incredibly slow and buggy.
- Lots of Graphical errors when panning. See attached

I've been reading this forum, and it appears bluebeam will not fix these issues in 2018, but rather release the update in 2019. This is absolutely ridiculous that we need to pay for a product that came broken out of the box just to get a fix. To add salt to the wound, they do not allow us to roll back to a previous version!
I will no longer be pushing our firm to go company wide for bluebeam. This is completely unacceptable and I will not advocate for them unless 2018 is fixed.
I'm using a Surface Pro 2017 with 16gb of ram in the video, but this happens on my work laptop as well, which is a Dell XPS 15, with 32GB ram and dedicated GPU. This has happened way too often in meetings as well, and the software in it's current state is completely unusable.
Apologies for the long rant.
