3D images in Acrobat 3D

That is the Acrobat 3D version that Adobe plans to release on January 23, with the ability to allow users to create PDF documents attached to computer-supported design applications (CAD). . To be able to read 3D documents, Acrobat needs to be upgraded to a new version, at least Acrobat 7.0.

According to Rak Bhalla, Adobe's marketing manager, Acrobat 3D is primarily for customers in the manufacturing industry who often need to exchange CAD files during product design. With 3D images, users can rotate and attach annotations to design images so that the exchange of ideas is convenient and faster.

Acrobat 3D has a number of security features that allow users to restrict copy operations of valuable designs. The program can display images from major CAD programs. Bhalla said that many people will use Acrobat 3D, not just design engineers (using CAD programs).

Acrobat 3D is also expected to be useful in a number of other potential areas such as architecture, manufacturing and construction. Acrobat 3D's starting price is 995USD.
