Hardware

The below requirements are suitable for both desktops and tablet PCs.

Minimum Requirements

Display: 1024 x 768
RAM: 2+ GB (see discussion below)
Hard Disk: Up to 1.2GB of available space may be required
Processor: 1GHz Pentium processor or equivalent (recommended, see discussion below)
Using Revu for working with typical Office documents: When using Revu for general office applications, a standard, general class computer may be used. A system qualified to run Windows 7 SP1 and Windows 8 would be a typical recommended configuration. For systems using 32-bit Windows 7 SP1 or Windows 8 , a bare minimum of 2GB is recommended. For running 64-bit Windows 7 SP1 or Windows 8, a minimum of 4GB is recommended.
Using Revu for working with large sets of engineering documents: When working with large drawing sets (for example, construction project bid sets) in which the PDFs may contain many 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 3.2GHz, Quad Core 2.3 GHz or better processor, as well as 8 GB of RAM. Revu can run on systems with lower specifications, however a workstation with these settings will provide the optimal performance.
