I have been running Revu 1.9.x ever since Revue 2.0 failed to work. I have no issues. I've updated all the way from Catalina to Big Sur without an issue.
I want to update my OS X to 12.6 Monterey, but don't want to lose my functionality on Revu 1.9.3.
Anyone know if this is possible? I can't believe on the entire internet I'm the only person who has this question. Thanks In advance for any assistance.
MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 11.6
It Revue is critical for your work I'd get an external SSD, clone my current boot drive to it, boot from it and upgrade to Monterey. The try the Revue 1.9.3 and the Revue 2.0. If it's compatible then you can upgrade your internal boot drive and install whichever version of Revue you want.

This is a user-to-user support forum for Apple products. If you have a specific question about some other product, you are very unlikely to find any answer here. In many cases, we have no idea what you are talking about.
When I searched for "Revue 2.0", I found « un projet pilote visant à poser les bases pour repenser le rôle des revues savantes en sciences humaines et sociales et accompagner les acteurs de l’édition scientifique dans leur transition numérique. » Sounds interesting, but I couldn't find a download link. Oh, wait, you aren't talking about that at all, are you? Quel dommage!
In the future, please provide a link for such things. To quote, "Bluebeam has discontinued development of Revu for Mac and is no longer selling or supporting it as a product." As they used to say back in the '90s, "Dude! You're gettin' a Dell!"
But seriously, I've found the website. I found that the Mac product is dead. The iPad product is still supported, but for how long? You could run that on an Apple Silicon Mac apparently. In spite of substantial effort on my part, I still don't what that the app actually does. Something about floorplans? Maybe that's why they are discontinuing the product. Nobody knows what it does!
Bluebeam® Revu® for iPad lets you work without limits from anywhere. Access and navigate PDFs on the go. Markup PDFs with industry-standard symbols in the field, and verify measurements on the fly. Collaborate with colleagues in real time using Revu’s cloud-based solution, Bluebeam Studio™, which instantly renders large format single sheet PDFs so productivity isn’t compromised. All it takes is a tap and swipe to experience the difference.
The difference in what??? Is this a PDF editor or something? 1.7 stars out of 5 from 376 ratings. Maybe you don't want that iPad app after all!
If you can describe what this app is supposed to do, perhaps we can give you some ideas for alternatives that might be better than that Dell.
I'd contact Revu customer support and find out if the licensing would allow you to install on another drive on your Mac without losing access. Tell them why you're doing it, i.e. want to confirm by testing that one or the other version will work with Monterey.
That's a great suggestion. That's what I've been worried about is if I can backtrack once updating to the new OS if it doesn't work. And since Revu is licensed I can't just clone it to another Mac and try it.
I wonder if I could get a trial version to work on my wife's Mac, maybe that would work.
thanks for the suggestion, I'll try and see if it works.
Bluebeam Revu is an engineering and development program for creating and marking up PDF files. Like AutoCad for PDF files.
It's an extremely powerful program that has literally no parallel. There's plenty of other talk of Revu on apple support, originally I thought my question was posting in response to the existing multi page thread on the topic but instead started it's own thread. Doesn't sound like it prohibited you from finding out what I meant though, even though you seem to feel slighted by it.
Long story short, the newer version of their program does not work on the newer OS up to and including Big Sur. but the older 1.9.3 version, the 2019 version, DOES work on Big Sur. I want to upgrade to Monterey but don't want to lose the ability to use the program as there is no similar alternative in the universe that comes close.
So not sure what all your French was about or why you sound so combative, just asking if anyone else has a similar scenario and is aware if 1.9 will work with Monterey. Nothing more, nothing less.

So why not use AutoCad? I would bet money that AutoCad can export to PDF.

Never heard of it. If I do a search in Google, I really only see one thread where it was discussed. People in that thread don't seem to think very highly of it. Someone even suggested an alternative.

Just exasperated by people asking questions about obscure, 3rd party apps using only the name of the app, and misspelling it. This is a user-to-user support forum for Apple products. Some people may use popular 3rd party products like Chrome, Office, or Adobe and are willing to answer questions about them. But many people don't even use those apps and prefer to stick to Apple software. If you have a question about something really obscure like this, you're just wasting your time here. Ask the developers of your app for support. In many cases, it can be a challenge just to help someone find out who the developer of their mystery app even is.

To reiterate again, nobody here has any idea about that app. I even tried to download it to check and cancelled the 1.75 GB EXE download. When I found the discontinued Mac version, it said straight up that it wouldn't work without a license key, which I don't have.
Your app has been discontinued. It's dead. If it works on Big Sur and you depend on it, then you'll need to start buying older and second-hand computers so you can keep running Big Sur. Apparently, it doesn't even work well in a VM. You'll never be able to update the app again, because it's dead. As I mentioned before, you can switch to Windows.
It is easy enough to buy a new Mac running Monterey to test. If you don't want to spend the money, and you have a sufficiently older Mac, you might be able to boot from an external SSD to test. Better do it this weekend or else you'll have to worry about Ventura compatibility on Monday.
I have. It’s not anywhere near as powerful as Revu.
Ova tried all the suggested programs from a few threads I’ve found talking about the Mac EOL issue with Revu and none of them are any help.
I believe the core of the issue is the additional features in the newer version not being compatible with the architecture of the newer Mac operating systems. This all happened right around the time that Apple changed from Intel to Apple Silicon and some thing about the difference did not like the newer version of the program. The older version though has function on every OS up until now. took me a minute to figure that out and luckily I still had it in my license keys that I had purchased so I’ve been able to keep things up and running. Although I’m relatively knowledgeable in some areas on computers, digging into the architecture of a program to figure out why it would work or why it wouldn’t is not one of those skills I have.
I was hoping that somebody here might have reference to some arcane resource that might be able to answer this question because every time I do a search and try and find out if there’s any new information to always leads me back to Apple support and a specific thread on this product.
I do appreciate your assistance though, and I still think I need to try the separate boot drive approach.
I can't believe on the entire internet I'm the only person who has this question.
It's not on RoaringApps, so you may be the only one using it.
Have you looked at PDF Expert? It will let you edit, markup and create PDF files.
Well thanks for your insightful advice and your time.
OSX 12.6 and Revu 1.9.3
