For example, you can quickly convert an entire assembly to a PDF that’s a fraction of the original file size while retaining geometric dimen sioning and tolerancing and other product specifica tions. You can view Product Manufacturing Information (PMI) in the Model Tree and in the 3D model, if you imported it during PDF conversion. By using Acrobat 3D, manufacturers and suppliers can open virtually any 3D CAD file without installing the original CAD application or a CAD translator. Import and view Product Manufacturing Information (PMI) from CATIA V5, I-DEAS, JT, NX, and Pro/ENGINEER files. Once the design is finalized, export geometry to a standard file format that can be reused in CAM applications to cut, build, and assemble the parts. 1 Click the 3D model, and click the Model Tree icon in the 3D toolbar. 2 In the Model Tree, click each view to see the PMI associated with that view. Export geometry from a 3D model If geometry was retained during conversion, you can export it as IGES, STEP, VRML, or ParaSolid file formats, which most CAE and CAM applications can read. 1 Right-click the 3D model and choose Export Data from the menu. 2 Choose a file type and click Settings to specify options for that file type. Combine files Combine files from various sources into a single, merged PDF or an assembled PDF package of related files. For example, you might collect brochures, presentations, spreadsheets, and contracts into a cohesive sales proposal.

For example, you can use a digital signature to indicate that you approve of the contents, that you have reviewed the contents, or that you agree to the terms outlined in the document. A digital ID is required to sign documents and apply certificate security. Self-signed digital IDs created from Acrobat 3D may be adequate for many situa tions. See the Adobe website for information on acquiring a digital ID from Adobe security partners. Adding a digital signature also allows you to track any changes made to the PDF. For added security, you can certify a PDF so that recipients can be assured that the PDF has not been altered. Finally, you can check digital signatures to ensure that they are valid. 1 Choose Advanced > Security Settings. 2 Select Digital IDs, and click Add ID. 3 Select Create A Self-Signed Digital ID For Use With Acrobat. 4 Follow the on-screen instructions to set up the self- signed digital ID. Register a digital ID A B You must register a digital ID in Acrobat 3D before you can use it. 1 Choose Advanced > Security Settings. 2 Select Digital IDs, and click Add ID. 3 Select Browse For An Existing Digital ID File. 4 Follow the on-screen instructions to select the digital ID file, type your password, and register the digital ID.

Forms You can create a PDF form with interactive form fields from many different sources—an existing electronic document such as a Word document or a spreadsheet, a scanned paper document, or a template. You can then distribute the form through email or a shared server and track the forms that have been returned to you. Finally, you can easily collect and review form data and export it to other applications. For example, you could convert all of your human resources forms to PDF and post them for easy access on a shared server. You could then track a specific form, such as a yearly benefits enrollment form, and know who has filled out and returned the form.
