- RAM
- 8 GB
- Hard Disk
- At least 5 GB of available space may be required
- 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 an Intel i5 Dual Core or better processor and 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.
