A new feature in Acrobat 8 is you have the ability to create a PDF of a dwg without having an AutoCAD license! I personally know several people who have an AutoCAD license just to be able to open, view, and print a dwg. Now you just simply right-click on the dwg and choose convert to pdf. Even better you can choose multiple dwg's and right-click and choose combine into pdf. It is that simple. Customer have been clapping, cheering everything short of dancing when this feature is shown. Who knew it would cause that much excitement.....

We just finished an Acrobat in the AEC industry city forum tour and it seemed like we had a recurring question that popped up in every city. It seemed like at least one individual would ask question about a pdf they were having issues with. Most of the time they would have received the pdf from another company and would have problems printing the file or the quality of the drawing they converted to pdf was not up to par. What a lot of users don't understand is that just because it has a .pdf as the file extension does not mean it is created with Adobe Acrobat technology.
I know, I know, you are bored with the couple of Acrobat 3D example files we have on www.adobe.com. Have you checked out the Adobe Acrobat Users Community website? We are currently featuring a 3D Gallery with several examples across several different industries. These examples highlight how our customers are using Acrobat 3D today.
