Add Bluebeam Revu

There isn't a great .pdf editing software that will allow you to add notes and markups currently accessible within the tabs. Adobe Suite costs to much to have your own account for each person using it. Revu is a more afordable software that is accessed by many design teams

    Oh yes, please allow for a direct plug in. In the design/construction community, Bluebeam is an essential tool that is vastly different in approach than Adobe. Adobe is great for word processing, but doesn't do the graphics components nearly as well.

    Having to download then re-upload is a huge waste of time.

    Please integrate Bluebeam with Teams. Bluebeam is the main PDF software for the engineering and construction industry. Adobe fell behind in the needs of these professions and as a result Bluebeam is quickly taking massive market share. Don't make the same mistake.

    Please integrate Bluebeam into Teams. Bluebeam is our company's standard pdf editor. We use it for viewing, markup, combining files, signing documents, etc. If Teams is going to become the platform for working together, it needs to seamlessly integrate with Bluebeam Revu.

    Please integrate Bluebeam into Teams. It is the only way I can sell Teams to my team. Bluebeam is a dominant program in the commercial construction industry. Our most used programs must be able to communicate.

    Please integrate bluebeam into Teams, almost 100% of construction use this far superior pdf program.

    Less about the cost side, but all about functionality. I would like to incorporate Bluebeam as it is already integrated into my current workflow work with regards to projects & session for coordinating with outside vendors and consultants.

    @KG Are you saying keep a session always open?
    The disadvantages are that there is no link back to SharePoint if someone adds an outside file. Secondly, the documents from Sharepoint would stay continually checked out, and someone would have to update the server copy constantly to make sure the still open file was the most recent. Also if you wanted to do changes to other people's markups you can't in a BB session. Plus security-wise you would have to allow unrestricted users as they are joining by link, which means anyone that has access to the channel would have access to the session.
    Your best option is that someone puts the files into the channel (Folder) within teams or on SharePoint, you then create the session. Within Bluebeam, you can create groups that can be the same as the channels, and then the session is only those people.

    And OMG the Acrobat viewer is awful, functionally useless. From the entire AEC industry, Bluebeam please!!!

    @Gibbs - Hi there - Also trying to figure out best way to work with pdfs in Teams...What would the advantage be to the process you outlined below rather than adding a website Tab w/ the URL to a BB session. PDFs would get posted to the session for review by various Team members and then you could save the mark-ups out of the session to the Files Tab. The BB website Tab really just acts as the link between BB and MS Teams. Thoughts?

    You can access your Teams (SharePoint) file directory through Bluebeam DMS function. This means that as soon as you add a file via Teams it is placed on the SharePoint site.
    You can then access from Bluebeam > Check Out & then place into a session (using free Bluebeam Studio Account)(also do not check back in), and collaboratively work on a document.
    Once Complete end the Session overwriting the file and Check-In.
    You have now collaboratively worked on a PDF with as many people as you want, and put it back into a SharePoint server system.

    With the issues with COVID-19, I have much on my company using Teams to communicate. Microsoft, this is a major issue with Teams and we need a response.
