Bluebeam Software has released version 7.0 of its PDF Revu, a professional PDF.

According to Bluebeam, Revu 7.0 takes PDF creation further with Batch for Office, Scan to PDF, and native image conversion. Batch for Office allows users to create PDFs from Word, Excel and PowerPoint files in just a few clicks while Scan to PDF and native image conversion eliminate unnecessary steps when converting various images.

In addition, Bluebeam has added spell check and PDF flags to make it easier to review PDF documents. Spell check identifies and suggests changes for misspelled words found in markups, form fields and PDF content, said Bluebeam.

Bluebeam PDF Revu 7.0 provides new file sharing options to reduce the need to print and ship documents. The reduce file size feature is expected to give users control over PDF compression by estimating the new file size and including an interface to adjust settings such as PDF version, image resolution and embedded fonts.

Richard Lee, president and CEO of Bluebeam Software, said: In order to be more competitive, business leaders require solutions that make their firms more efficient and sustainable. Each new feature in 7.0 is designed to do just that – enable our customers to achieve real results – reduce printing and shipping costs by up to 80% and increase productivity by up to 60%.
