One of the major announcements for Acrobat 9 was the support of the IFC file format in Acrobat Pro Extended.  This is important because it supports Building Information Modeling workflow's.  This features allows you to share your 3D models via a pdf document and have full visualization and now object property data associated to the model.  What I like about the support of the IFC file format is it is focused on an industry standard.  This allows us to develop functionality that will be supported by multiple 3D CAD applications on the market today.  The IFC files formats that we are supporting are the IFC2x3 and IFC2x2.  So how does it work?

We are well into a successful launch of Acrobat 9.  Many of the features address many of the AEC industry pain points.  For this launch, we have partnered with McGraw Hill to bring you several of the events.  This gives you a perspective as to what the leading industry experts are saying, as well as the functionality to address many of these issues.  If you missed the Acrobat 9 for the AEC industry launch eSeminar you can view the on demand presentation and demonstration here.  We also have several deep dive seminars that are coming up in the next few weeks.  These will be 30 min sessions that will focus on specific functionality.  Continue reading for a complete list of dates to upcoming events and other helpful links.
