The Acrobat 9 Pro Extended 3D Update is available now, and can be downloaded here.  This update includes a number of bug fixes related to the IFC importer introduced in Acrobat 9.  It also contains several updated dynamic link libraries (DLLs) that provide support for more recent versions of CAD file formats, and fixes a number of bugs related to CAD format import in Acrobat 9 Pro Extended and 3D Reviewer.  This is an optional free downloadable executable.  Have Fun,  Jonathan
