PDF mark-up tool maker Bluebeam and virtualization software provider Citrix are on a mission to reduce the amount of paper that is often chased on major projects. Their latest partnership could do more of that and help users collaborate across different platforms with more ease.

两家公司表示，他们已将Citrix的ShareFile云存储服务与Bluebeam的Revu iPad应用程序相结合。它的工作原理：在文件与iPad的Revu同步后，ShareFile用户使用Revu的Bluebeam Studio在Project PDF上工作，这是Bluebeam的基于云的集成协作环境，这是其桌面产品的关键功能。

Because Bluebeam's flagship desktop products, Revu 12.0 and Vu, are compatible with only Windows operating systems, Mac desktop users must use virtualization software, such as Boot Camp or Parallels, to recreate a Windows environment in order to run Revu or Vu. (Citrix's own virtualization products, XenApp 6.0 and 6.5, are now certified for Bluebeam's Revu 12.0.)

The latest integration means Bluebeam users will be able to navigate to their ShareFile files and folders and then sync, view and edit these files using Revu's mark-up, measurement and collaboration tools. The collaboration helps Revu users do more with their iPads, such as pin files and folders to custom categories, edit PDFs with industry-standard symbols and save custom mark-ups for reuse, all the while helping to cut down on how much paper is printed out among project teams.
