It absolutely is another subscription service, but is equivalently priced to acrobat. While I’m all for pay to own, if you are already paying a subscription to acrobat and need the features of that application, revu is a no brainer change.

That said, I’m pretty keen to hear about alternatives, I’ve never heard of Stirling or pdf gear so I’ll check em out. Thanks!

My last firm used revu and switching back to acrobat at the new one has been crippling. Acrobat is an abomination.

Personally I love how acrobat has different colour pallets for markups depending on how you access the objects properties and think its a perfect example of how well put together their software is in general.

Bluebeam revu?

Edit: it’s comparably priced to acrobat but is significantly better on all fronts (opens and runs faster and more reliably, markup tools are leagues above, pdf editing tools are more comprehensive, review tools are significantly more advanced, everything is more user friendly. It’s wild how much better revu is when it’s literally the same price point.
