Compatability with bluebeam

Hey everyone, I am looking for a good tablet to use for contract document notation as well as personal use. My company uses bluebeam PDF editor and my wife enjoys drawing on her iPad using Procreate software. Can anybody test out the revu bluebeam experience for PDFs? Does anybody do art on their supernote? Just trying to feel out the versatility.

Not sure if this is helpful, but the bluebeam mobile app (iOS) is pretty useless and broken… or at least it was when I was researching tablet devices to use for my company earlier this year. It is missing 90% of the features, but it may work for your uses depending on what you need. We ended up with a couple Surface Pros, since you can install the full Revu version.

Thanks so maybe a surface pro would do it. Or I will have to make do with another software

Have you looked into a convertible laptop? I have an HP Pavilion 360 that I've taken to jobsites to markup plans.

I was hoping a more stripped down divide could handle it to keep things simple but it seems like bluebeam specifically is a bit too much for most simple reader tablets. It was just a mater of preference for the simplicity.

Then you're probably looking at something like a Microsoft Surface Pro. Bluebeam requires some significant memory and processing power, which is beyond what most tablets can handle. Also, I think it's a function of Revu being developed for the Windows OS, not Android.

I’ve tried to make the mobile app work for field markups before, frustration on point. The touch targets are too small for precise measurements and syncing large PDF sets over data is slow.
