October 2007 Archives

I recognize that a lot you come to this blog for general Acrobat information and are unfamiliar with some of the terminology that I am using in my posts.  The first thing you should know is my position at Adobe and my background.  I am currently working as the Business Development Manager for the Architectural, Engineering and Construction industry vertical at Adobe.  My background is that I am a civil engineer and have worked in heavy and process construction, oil & gas, and consulted for technology implementation for large capital facilities.  So let's talk terminology. ..

Primavera Conference Report

| No Comments
Wow! What a great conference!  If you use any of Primavera products or are looking to you should definitely attend their conference.  They put on a great show.  We had an overwhelming response at our booth.  Very in depth conversations of how Acrobat fits into the AEC, EPC and OO industry.  The biggest question we got was "what is Adobe doing here and how do you integrate with Primavera products?"

Submit your 3D PDF designs now and win some great prizes!  Adobe is hosting it's first 3D PDF contest.  Not only can you win prizes but your design will be featured on the Acrobat 3D website as well as the Acrobat Users Community website.  Prizes include a Dell M4300 laptop, iPhone, video iPod, 3D connexion navigator, Adobe software and more!  I work in the Architectural, Engineering and Construction industry so I am really interested in seeing your Revit, Microstation, AutoCAD, and 3D Studio Max designs.  If you are not using Acrobat 3D today, here is your chance.  To enter you could simply download a trial to convert your existing designs into 3D PDF's.  It is as simple as that.
This is a great tip and trick for large scale drawings.  Ever wonder what other uses the middle mouse button wheel has besides scrolling? (probably nothing you have lost sleep over, I know) To give a use case, if you were zoomed in on a particular area in a drawing and needed to quickly navigate to another portion of the drawing, what would you do?  Until now you would probably use the zoom in and out with a combination of the scroll bars.  If you are zoomed in and want to quickly pan around the drawing just hold down you middle mouse button and you can quickly move through the drawing.  It will save you a lot of clicks!
