Adobe Acrobat 3D

Let’s put Adobe Acrobat 3D as a means to empower Computer aided design, Computing Aided Maneuvers and CAE users. The software’s prime prowess lies in converting any given CAD file to 3D PDF format that’s highly compressed; this enables full 3D collaboration and CAD data in an exchange and use manner. This has resulted in an increased productivity in the engineering fields by eliminating the need for the CAD translators.

Adobe Acrobat 3D. Communicate and collaborate more securely with the complete PDF solution for 3D design.

The new story began from Jan. 23rd this year. Adobe walked some extra distance to relieve manufacturers from the burden of creating and sharing documents; the new step proved a booster to the product designing and building processes. The new endeavor was given an epithet of Acrobat 3D and since then, aid is been spelt as aed – author, edit, distribute for the manufacturing companies globally.

The Knowledge Worker department of Adobe has built the Acrobat 3D based on technological aspects similar to other existent Acrobat products as well as the Breeze-collaboration software. The new approach helped Adobe succeed in solving the files and paperwork quagmire that often draws down the manufacturing companies when it comes to forwarding the product designs to a multitude of people.

Acrobat 3D allows forwarding CAD-generated 3D images that are supported by any current Acrobat reader, a stark contrast to any other licensed, expensive and specialized design programs. And ability for controlling the elements of a design makes stealing the designs a real tough job.

AEC professionals are sure to find Utopia with Acrobat 3D’s capturing and embedding abilities, but with Acrobat’s shift from 2D to 3D, it definitely loses out on intelligence in the sense it falls short when it comes to retain the non-geometrical properties of the 3D content. That leaves grounds for other designs review/checking applications to survive; it also spares Autodesk’s own DWF (another e-publishing format). If the Adobe PDF can develop its own unique 3D capabilities, only then it can differentiate itself in a stronger manner against the aforementioned, but not without making slight improvements to the present package. That includes less time for users to spend understanding the functionality of 3D capturing; setting configurations for individual designs; simple navigational capabilities instead of using JavaScript and a slash in the $995 tag.

The AEC industry being the most important market for Adobe’s Acrobat 3D, we expected more of direct support for the CAD (as well as BIM) applications with more emphasis on more of non-graphical object attribute data. That way, we could have had 3D PDF files that are richer than present. However, the kind of initial traction the software has gained till now, it seems that the manufacturing is going to embrace it more closely but not for very large projects.
