I was hesitant when I first set it up because the performance with the MacBook trackpad was not OPTIMAL - just good - but when I paired my Logitech mx mouse it was just like working on a PC.

Does have a vertical split screen view!īluebeam 2019 on Parallels - works well for me but note that bluebeam 20 will not run on parallels on an M1 Mac. It will suffice for most of my workflow but no option to zoom in and out with a mouse like bluebeam so only using this with the trackpad. This will be my main PDF viewer while in Mac OS but it has minimal markup features and no measurements or takeoff. PDF expert - most user friendly pdf software for viewing and comparing documents. FYI I have a 14' MacBook Pro with the base M1 pro chip, 32 gb ram and 512GB SSD. I just got an M1 MacBook and I've been running tests to find an alternative, so here's some feedback on my experience. However, I do not work on estimates full time otherwise I'd stick to a PC. Takeoffs and estimates is when I absolutely need bluebeam. Most of my workflow is looking through drawings, marking them up for RFIs and communication between subs, occasional measurements and the big one is takeoffs for estimating. been using bluebeam for the past 12 years and I've become completely dependent on it, for good reason but I refuse to continue using a PC.
