Adobe Acrobat 3D Version 8 sotware oers a complete and more secure way to collaborate with extended teams on 3D designs. With Acrobat 3D Version

8, design engineering, technical publishing and creative proessionals in manuacturing industries such as automotive, aerospace and heavy machinery, as

well as the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) market, can easily convert 3D designs rom a wide variety o major computer-aided design

(CAD) ormats and embed them into Adobe PDF lesregardless o whether they have CAD sotware. Provide rich, interactive 3D designs to users o ree

Adobe Reader sotware without requiring expensive CAD or viewer sotware. Accelerate review cycles, streamline production, help reduce costly redesigns,

and leverage existing CAD assets or technical manuals and marketing materials. And as with all o the Acrobat 8 products and Adobe Reader 8 sotware,

Acrobat 3D Version 8 also provides access to real-time collaboration capabilities. By simply clicking on the Start Meeting button, users can collaborate in

real-time over the Web with new Adobe AcrobatConnect sotware (ree trial available, sotware sold separately).

Easily Capture 3D DesignsConvert rom CAD to Adobe PDF more quickly; produce smaller Adobe PDF lesAn enhanced conversion engine accelerates the rendering o CAD

to Adobe PDF. Acrobat 3D Version 8 also signicantly reduces CAD le size by converting 3D designs to highly compressed, high-resolution Adobe PDF

les using customizable conversion parameters. Capture designs in Adobe PDF w ith one-button ease rom major CAD applications and rom the latest

CAD ormats, including SolidWorks, CATIA V4 and V5, UGS NX and Pro/ENGINEER. Insert 3D CAD designs into existing and new Microsot Oce

documents, including Word, Excel and PowerPoint, and convert the les to Adobe PDF or easy distribution.

Create rich, interactive documentsAcrobat 3D Version 8 enables users to publish technical documents as Adobe PDF les containing interactive 3D

designs. Compared to printed technical documents, Adobe PDF documents can cost ar less to produce and can be easily updated. Also, the interactive 3D

objects contained within an Adobe PDF document provide much more inormation and context than printed documents.

Combine les rom multiple applicationsCreate a single Adobe PDF document rom multiple source les, including spreadsheets, Microsot Ocedocuments, e-mail, and 3D designs. Speciy which pages, layouts, or sheets should be included rom source les in a nal, combined Adobe PDF document.

Embed multimedia, 3D designs, audio, and video or a richer experience. For the rst time, maintain individual digital signatures and security settings

in dierent Adobe PDF les and orms when combining them into a single Adobe PDF package. Adobe PDF packages let users group related documents

together as individual les, making it easier to add, extract, search and browse les.Share source les by attaching them to an Adobe PDF document in their

original, native ormats.

Share 3D Designs with AnyoneDistribute PMI* and export precise dataAcrobat 3D Version 8 now lets users distribute PMI* to extended manuacturing teams and the supply chain in

Adobe PDF, helping to eliminate the need or 2D drawings. Also new is the ability to export precise data in industry-standard ormats such as STEP, IGES,

and Parasolid or use in CAM and CAE applications. Archive precise data or long-term storage in a standard and searchable ormat.

Export to standard 3D ormatsUsers can now export 3D content to the standard U3D ormat with increased compression. U3D is an ideal

ormat when creating technical publications with 3D objects. For the rst time, Acrobat 3D Version 8 can also export 3D content to PRC, an

intelligent, high-compression ormat that can preserve precise data and a high-level o accuracy, oten needed when sharing 3D designs with

the supply chain.

Easily share 3D designsExchange 3D designs in Adobe PDF with users o Adobe Reader 7.0.7 or later, allowing them to v iew, rotate,and manipulate 3D designs and, when enabled by Acrobat 3D Version 8, analyze, mark up and comment on 3D objects using intuitive

Acrobat tools and without the need or expensive CAD applications or v iewers. When enabled by Acrobat 3D Version 8, Adobe Reader

users can also measure 3D assemblies and individual parts as well as save new 3D views and cross sections.

Communicate design detailCommunicate 3D design intent with cross sections and exploded-view animations. Call attention to parts or

subassemblies with custom views, multiple rendering modes, hide/show parts, highlighting, sticky notes, and markup tools.

Leverage CAD designs in marketing and manualsUse the included Acrobat 3D Toolkit to add and modiy lighting, materials, textures, or

colors; create exploded views and animations; and then save as a 3D object or 2D raster/vector image to create rich, interactive marketing

collateral or technical documents.

Protect and help control sensitive inormationAcrobat 3D Version 8 enables users to protect sensitive inormation by sharing 3D design

data in Adobe PDF with advanced document controls and security. Apply passwords to restrict access to documents. Assign permissions to

help control who can print, save, copy, or modiy documents. And now, with new redaction tools, easily nd and permanently remove hidden

inormation, unwanted document metadata, and sensitive content beore distributing Adobe PDF documents. Certiy documents with digital

signatures and, or the rst time, enable users o Adobe Reader 7.0 or later to digitally sign Adobe PDF les.

Accelerate and Extend CollaborationEnable collaboration tools in Adobe ReaderBy enabling collaboration tools in Adobe Reader 7.0.7 or later, your extended team can

ully participate in e-mail-based or shared reviews o Adobe PDF documents, saving new 3D views and using measuring, cross-sectioning,

commenting, and mark up tools.

Highlight design fawsUse interactive 3D designs in Adobe PDF documents to identiy and communicate design faws, which can help

reduce errors and design changes.

Track reviews and manage commentsTrack which reviewers have contributed eedback, automatically send reminders, and add new

participants. Easily compile comments rom multiple reviewers into a single Adobe PDF document.
