Acrobat 3D Version 8.0

Adobe® Acrobat® 3D software empowers CAD, CAM, and CAE users to convert virtually any CAD file to a highly compressed 3D PDF file to enable 3D-based collaboration and CAD data interoperability. Increase engineering productivity by sharing Adobe PDF files containing precise geometry and product manufacturing information with users of free Adobe Reader® software to mark up 3D designs, or leverage Adobe PDF files for downstream manufacturing processes without having to buy CAD translators.

Software Features:

Convert virtually any CAD file into a 3D PDF file

Easily convert complex 3D designs from CAD applications such as CATIA V4 and V5, UGS NX, JT, I-DEAS, SolidWorks, Pro/ENGINEER, Autodesk Inventor, and many others into rich, interactive 3D PDF files.

Produce highly compressed, easy-to-share 3D PDF files

Create highly compressed and more secure 3D PDF files that can be up to 150 times smaller than the native CAD files, so they can be easily shared through e-mail.

Create 3D PDF documents from OpenGL applications

Instantly capture your CAD designs in 3D PDF with one-button ease from OpenGL-based applications on Microsoft® Windows® and UNIX® systems.

Share product manufacturing information

Reduce the need to create or share 2D drawings. Easily distribute 3D designs containing product manufacturing information (PMI) to your extended team, enabling them to access this information in the 3D PDF file directly on the geometry and from the assembly tree.

Combine files from multiple applications

Easily create a single Adobe PDF document package containing all critical project files, including product specifications, spreadsheets, Microsoft Office documents, 2D drawings, and 3D designs containing PMI. Then use the de facto PDF standard for reliable electronic information exchange as the foundation of the release process of your project data to your customers and suppliers.

Share 3D designs with anyone

Exchange 3D designs in 3D PDF with users of the free Adobe Reader® software, enabling them to access PMI data as well as mark up, rotate, zoom, measure, and interact with 3D assemblies, or save new 3D views, create 3D cross sections, and view internal structures and assembly relationships without CAD applications or CAD viewers.

Create 3D cross sections

Generate dynamic cross-section views of 3D designs with the free Adobe Reader. Call attention to parts or subassemblies so everyone fully understands the design details.

Perform 3D measurement

Work with easy-to-use measurement tools to measure point-to-point distances, radial dimensions, and angles on 3D models with the free Adobe Reader to ensure better communication during design reviews.

Leverage all the features of Adobe Acrobat® 8 Professional

Take advantage of all the features and benefits of Acrobat Professional to reliably create, combine, and control PDF documents for easy, more secure distribution, collaboration, and data collection.

Convert CAD files to 3D PDF containing precise CAD geometry

Convert virtually any CAD file into a 3D PDF file that contains either tessellated (faceted) data or precise CAD model geometry that can be used in CAD, CAM, and CAE applications for downstream processes.

Export to neutral file formats

Save money by eliminating the need to buy expensive CAD translators for each different CAD format you work with. Use Acrobat 3D to export precise CAD model data into a high-quality neutral file format such as STEP or IGES that can be used for downstream manufacturing processes.

Build and manufacture more reliably

Use the high-quality neutral files for downstream manufacturing processes such as tool and mold design, machining, and analysis. Streamline your workflow and get to the manufacturing process faster and more reliably.

Reuse CAD design data in marketing and technical manuals

Use the included Acrobat 3D Toolkit module to quickly clean up CAD designs; add and modify lighting, materials, textures, or colors; create exploded views and animations; and then save the designs as 3D objects or 2D raster/vector images for use in interactive marketing collateral or technical manuals.

Generate assembly instructions

Generate assembly instructions to produce higher quality technical documentation and communicate complex ideas more effectively to anyone using the free Adobe Reader.

Create PDF files including 3D designs from Microsoft Office documents

Easily insert 3D CAD designs into existing and new Microsoft Office documents, including Word and PowerPoint files, and convert them to Adobe PDF files for easy distribution.
