Editable import
Bring years of Bluebeam markups into Redliner and keep editing them. No flattened images, no starting over.
Bluebeam alternative
Your Bluebeam markups come with you — editable.
Redliner imports marked-up PDFs from Bluebeam with the annotations live and editable, not flattened. Then it adds what Revu never had: takeoff categories that carry costs, measurements grouped by room, and a browser workflow that runs the same on Mac, iPad, and Windows.
Why teams use it
Organized around the sheet set.
Takeoff that prices itself
Measure into cost-loaded categories grouped by room. Bluebeam measures; Redliner tells you what the plan costs.
No Windows-only workflow
The full toolset — markup, takeoff, version compare — runs in the browser on Mac, iPad, Windows, and the web.
FAQ
Common questions
Can I import my existing Bluebeam files?
Yes. Marked-up PDFs from Bluebeam and other platforms import with annotations editable in Redliner — not flattened into the page.
Does Redliner work on Mac?
Yes. Redliner is browser-first, so Mac users get the full markup and takeoff toolset without a Windows desktop install.
Is Redliner a full Bluebeam replacement?
For construction PDF markup, takeoff, version comparison, and plan collaboration — yes. Bluebeam remains broader generic desktop PDF authoring software.

Your annotations arrive editable. Your takeoff starts carrying costs.
