Bluebeam Tip: Maximizing Collaboration in Bluebeam Revu with the Compare Documents Feature

Enhance your collaborative reviewing by utilizing Bluebeam Revu's Compare Documents feature. This powerful tool is essential when working on revisions or comparing different versions of a document. Here's how you can take advantage of this feature:

• Open Both Documents: Start by opening the two PDFs you want to compare within Bluebeam Revu.
• Compare Documents: Navigate to the Document menu and select Compare Documents. Bluebeam will prompt you to choose the original document and the revised document.
• Customize Settings: Before starting the comparison, you can adjust settings such as color and tolerance levels to ensure the differences are easily noticeable.
• Analysis: After the comparison, Bluebeam Revu highlights the differences between the documents. You will see clouds around changes, making them simple to identify.
• Review Changes: Use the Markups List to navigate through the changes efficiently. Each discrepancy is listed here, and you can filter or sort them as needed.
• Overlay Pages: For a different perspective, use the Overlay Pages feature, which stacks the two PDFs on top of each other with different colors for each page. This visually represents the changes and can be accessed under the Document menu.
• Collaborate with Teams: Share the results with your team using Bluebeam Studio Sessions for real-time collaboration.
• Save and Track: Save the compared document as a new PDF for future reference and track changes throughout the project lifecycle.

By mastering the Compare Documents feature, you can ensure that you are always working with the most up-to-date information, reducing the chance of costly mistakes. For more tips and expert advice, visit our partner NOVEDGE.
