Adobe Acrobat 3D Version 8 software offers design engineers and technical publishers a complete and more secure way to collaborate with extended teams on 3D designs. Capture 3D designs from major CAD applications in PDF documents to provide rich, interactive 3D designs to users of free Adobe Reader software (version 7.0.7?8), without requiring expensive CAD or viewer software. Accelerate review cycles, streamline production, help reduce costly redesigns, and leverage existing CAD assets for technical manuals and marketing materials.

Features:

Share 3D designs with extended teams

Reduce errors, design changes, and number of review cycles Use embedded 3D interactive content to highlight design flaws before a product reaches production.

Convert 3D designs from major CAD applications Easily convert 3D designs from major CAD applications to Adobe PDF. Enable extended team members to review without expensive CAD applications or specialty viewers.

Capture 3D designs directly from your CAD application Capture 3D designs from your CAD application in one step to create Adobe PDF files. (Supported on Microsoft Windows and various UNIX systems.) Insert 3D designs from all major CAD applications.

Enrich communications Visually communicate the design intent of 3D product information by creating multiple cross sections and exploded-view animations to accurately show assembly and disassembly.

Extend review and commenting Activate functionality in free Adobe Reader® 7.0* software to enable suppliers, partners, and customers to review, mark up, redline, and comment on 3D designs.

Manage file size Dramatically reduce file size by converting 3D CAD designs into an Adobe PDF document using presets that control conversion parameters. Use your Adobe PDF document to easily exchange 3D designs and concepts with project teams, customers, and partners.

Easily insert, publish, and edit 3D designs

Leverage Microsoft Office documents Insert 3D CAD designs into existing and new Microsoft Office documents using the OLE Control Extensions (OCX) included in Acrobat 3D.

Create rich interactive documents with 3D content Use the Acrobat 3D Toolkit to add materials, create animations such as exploded views, edit lighting, and save as a 3D object or 2D raster/vector image.

Enhance levels of communication Add JavaScript to any Adobe PDF file that contains 3D designs to convey deeper levels of information.

Enable more precise measurements and views Allow extended team members to arbitrarily rotate and interact with objects and to measure parts and dimensions, such as distance and radius, for designs.

Provide advanced views Enable reviewers to define multiple cross sections of a 3D object to view internal structures and assembly relationships.

Accelerate design feedback

Extend commenting capabilities Enable anyone on the project team who uses Adobe Reader 7.0* to actively participate in reviews.

Track reviews automatically Create a list of engineering, management, and project team reviewers and automatically track all feedback.

Use familiar review and commenting tools Use familiar commenting tools, including a highlighter, sticky notes, pen, strikethrough, callout, dimension lines, and more.

Associate comments with 3D designs Place comments and markups directly on interactive 3D designs. Associate comments with specific points on the object to accurately communicate feedback.

Combine multiple documents for review into a single package
Avoid version conflicts during collaborative reviews by combining multiple documents into a binder or single package for distribution and approval.

Protect sensitive information

Control access Set parameters enabling or restricting access to Adobe PDF documents with 3D designs.

Digitally sign design documents Digitally sign design modification and approval documents to help ensure they have not been altered.

Protect confidential information Set permissions and restrict whether Adobe PDF files with 3D designs can be printed, copied, or changed. Protect documents inside and outside the firewall, online and offline.
