Notice how the two files are now overlaid. Once aligned, select “OK” to overlay each document. If the documents are not aligned, manually align them by electing three points.
Once each document has been assigned a color, you can start the overlay process. With each layer/document version, you can assign it its own color. This window allows you to add more than one file to be overlaying another. Navigate to the “Document” menu tab and select “Overlay Pages” from the dropdown. Revu also provides the capability to overlay pages.
In the Markups List we are able to see each markup listed with the subject of “Difference”. Notice how the difference document contains cloud markups which show the variations between the two files. This workflow examines both files and places a cloud markup in each location that has a difference. You are now able to review the original Document A to the updated/difference document. Do note you only have these two viewing options. You can also split the screen to view the documents side-by-side. Revu provides the option to align the two files, should they be oriented differently. I recommend putting the first version in Document A and the revision in Document B. This will open a new window to select the documents you need to compare. Navigate to the “Document” menu tab and select “Compare Documents” from the dropdown. Compare Documentsįirst, we will look at the Compare Documents feature. Two of the tools inside Revu® that help you accomplish this task are Compare Documents and Overlay Pages. Have you ever received a document with unannounced changes? Bluebeam Revu® allows you to easily catch those adjustments with its document comparison capabilities.
