As of Revu for iPad 3.0, Studio is now powered by Studio GO. Studio GO is an instant rendering solution for large format single sheet document sets, with support for revisions. Large document sets should be broken up to get fast rendering speed. Please contact us if you’d like to provide any feedback about this feature, or Revu for iPad in general.

There are many reasons why some PDF files will render more slowly than others. One of the main reasons this occurs is because of the efforts made towards rendering all markups correctly and generating the Markups list. Some documents render slowly because of a large amount of vector content. To see instant rendering speeds, check out Studio GO in the What’s New in Revu for iPad 3.0 Video.

Adjusting the rendering preferences may help improve rendering speed. Here is a brief explanation of what each function does:

Enable Safe Rendering Engine
This option uses the built-in iOS PDF rendering library to render the PDF content. It is recommended to be turned on; however, some PDF content will only render correctly if it is turned off.

Incremental Rendering
This option allows the PDF to begin rendering parts of the file incrementally. When it is disabled, the PDF will not display until all objects have been loaded, which is most useful when viewing vector-based PDF drawings. If your document is a scan, turning this option off should speed up the total rendering time.

Enable Tile Caching
Tile Caching allows PDF regions off-screen to render and cache to memory. This improves panning performance but may slow down overall rendering time. We recommend you enable Tile Caching if you will be reviewing and scrolling through multi-page PDFs. When disabled, rendering will not start until the PDF has stopped moving.

Preload Pages
This option renders a placeholder image for the previous and next page of the file, making it appear to load much faster than if it were rendering normally. This option only works with Tile Caching turned on.

We understand that performance and rendering speed are important aspects of any application, and our developers are constantly working on ways to improve them.

Please contact Bluebeam Technical Support if you have files that are affected by slow performance which you can send in for testing.

The easiest way is to tap anywhere on the document that doesn’t have a markup.

Studio Session attendees can chat throughout their real-time PDF collaborations. To view the chat during a Studio Session, simply tap the Studio tab in the Markups list.
