Acrobat vs BlueBeam Pushbutton Plus |
|
|
Does anyone have experience using both Acrobat and Bluebeam Pushbutton
Plus to have an idea if Bluebeam is worth the $149 price? I suspect a
lot of SolidWorks users are interested in this.
The list of key features sounds good, but I have been bitten by buying
first and then being disappointed, so I have to ask. The free trial
download is available as a positive.

I do know that it makes much more compact .pdf's of my drawings than
Win2pdf, but that's not the comparison you wanted. |

I used to use Acrobat exclusively since that is what we had before Bluebeam
was included with SW. I still continued to use Acrobat for quite a while
even after Bb showed up, mainly because it always did what I wanted it to do
(don't fix it if it is not broken).
I started playing with Bb one day and found it much easier to create .pdf's
from SW. The quality is better and the file size is smaller.
I have never used the full version of Bb. I doubt I would ever need some of
the features that is included. I just wish I could do the same thing in
other programs that I can do in SW as far as creating the .pdf's.

Seth, this new Bluebeam version is claimed to let you work with any
other program, though I can't claim it to be integrated as well as it
probably is with SolidWorks.
SolidWorks did send out an email today noting Bluebeam as an official Partner.

Yeah, I just got the email... I just don't think I have that much of a need
for it since I do already have Adobe Acrobat. Not worth the investment for
the change in my opinion.
Now, if I didn't already have Adobe, I would choose Bluebeam.

I have always been a bit disapointed with the Bluebeam that ships with SW.
Every so often it randomly rotates a sheet in a multisheet set. When you
redo it you often find it has rotated a different sheet. Once a drawing set
heads down this path we find the best solution is to go back to Acrobat
Distiller.
