Convert native 3D CAD files into interactive 3D PDF documents

Convert 3D documents from all CAD applications into interactive, rich PDF documents. 3D data can be compressed – sometimes less than 5% of the size of the native 3D CAD data.  See list of supported 3D formats.

Use 3D Reviewer to get ready CAD data before publishing to PDF

Merge, move and delete parts of CAD files, create exploded assemblies and animations, manage and create bills of material, etc. Publish the final results to 3D PDF. Learn more about 3D Reviewer now.

Export to neutral 3D file formats right from a 3D PDF document

Users can quickly export exact BREP 3D CAD data to neutral file formats such as STEP, IGES, Parasolid, or STL for use in downstream CAD, CAM, CAE, 3D printing and more.  Export the whole assembly, or choose which part model(s) to convert.

Quickly update documents when design data changes

When design changes happen, you can easily update the 3D data within a PDF.  Once you have created the 3D PDF pattern, it is easy to republish your service manuals, work instructions, RFPs and any other document that contains 3D data.

Include PMI (Product Manufacturing Information) when you import 3D data

PMI data such as tolerances, dimensions and annotations, complete with PMI view states are imported and displayed in 3D PDF. Your company can quickly share 3D model definitions (3D MBD) with your supply chain. Adobe Reader is the only necessary program for that.

Support for the ISO PDF/E standard for exchange of engineering data.

Create 3D PDF documents that conform to the ISO PDF/E standard for the exchange of 2D and 3D engineering data. Use professional tools within Adobe Acrobat X to check standards compliance and fix those that do not.

Work seamlessly with 3D PDF files in Microsoft SharePoint.

Access SharePoint from any Acrobat Open or Save dialog box. Open 3D PDF files from SharePoint for viewing, collaboration, ad 3D data exchange. Check them out for editing, and then check them back in.

Use free Adobe SendNow services to share large 3D PDF files

Use free Adobe SendNow online services from Acrobat to share, send, and track large files without any troubles of email size restrictions, FTP sites, and expensive overnight services.

Use Collaborate Live to conduct real-time online 3D design reviews

Use the free Adobe Collaborate Live options of Adobe Acrobat X Pro to control online design review. Just send the 3D PDF to the recipients. Collaborate Live connects the PDFs so that only the commands to zoom, pan, rotate, change pages, etc., are sent back and forth. This results in much better performance than usual web conferencing.
