Using Revu with typical office documents
When using Revu for general office applications, a mid-range computer that meets the above requirements may be used.
Using Revu with large sets of engineering documents
When working with large drawing sets (for example, construction project bid sets) in which the PDFs may contain hundreds of large format drawings, it is recommended that workstations have adequate memory and processor resources. A recommended hardware configuration would be 64-bit Windows with an Intel i5 Dual Core or better processor, as well as at least 8 GB of RAM. Revu can run on systems with lower specifications; however, a workstation with these specifications will provide the optimal performance.
Using Revu for OCR
OCR is included with the 64-bit version of Revu eXtreme. OCR will not work in 32-bit Revu.
.NET Framework
As part of the installation, the Microsoft .NET Framework 4.7.1 will be installed if .NET 4.7.1 or higher does not already exist on the workstation.
Note: Windows 10 machines must have the Windows 10 Anniversary update or newer in order to install .NET Framework 4.7.1. For more information, please refer to the Microsoft website.
Virtual Environments
Revu 20 is certified Citrix Ready® on Server 2016 R2. See the Revu Citrix Ready page for the full list of certified applications.
In order to stay compliant with our EULA (End User License Agreement), each organization must purchase as many seats as there are Revu users in your organization.
