Using Acrobat 3D in the Manufacturing Work Flow

You can create a 3D PDF file that is much smaller than your CAD drawing file but still contains necessary dimensioning and tolerancing data. You can include product manufacturing information in your 3D PDF file. And you can include model geometry that can be exported in common CAM and CAE formats.
