A display driver supporting either OpenGL® 3.2 (or above) or OpenGL® ES 3.0 (or above) is required to use hardware rendering.
- Processor
- Desktops and laptops: 1 GHz processor or equivalent (recommended, see below)
- Tablets: Intel® i3 processor or equivalent
- RAM
- 4 GB (32-bit Windows)
- 8 GB (64-bit Windows)
- 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.
