September 2009 Archives

The third in my series of free publicly accessible Adobe Acrobat eSeminars will be Tuesday October 19th at 11:00 a.m. Pacific Time. This is a great opportunity for folks to quickly learn a few simple high value capabilities of Adobe Acrobat.
I'll also be presenting a second eSeminar on Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009 at 11:00 a.m. Pacific Time. You can register for both eSeminars here.

During this first 30-minute webinar I'll be showing a few simple Adobe Acrobat tips and tricks that will equip you to use Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended more effectively. I will focus on the AEC and EPC features in Acrobat that can help you speed project delivery and boost accuracy of design, engineering, and construction communications. I will also show you how Adobe Acrobat can help you more effectively collaborate on project information during all phases of a project.
In addition, you will learn how to:
• Create PDF files that retain metadata and any layer information from AutoCAD(R) and Microsoft(R) Visio.
• Create PDF "portfolios" that showcase a variety of dynamic content types in a pdf container.
• Share fully interoperable information by issuing PDF files to project team members with full BIM model information and support for IFC (Industry Foundation Classes) Standards.
• Mark-up and review any other file type, with new tools to synchronize views, instantly compare versions, and manage the overall process.
• Include geospatial information and videos in a PDF file.

Although not conferences specifically tailored to the AEC professional, there are two events fast approaching in which Adobe Acrobat will receive top billing.

The first event is the Adobe Acrobat and PDF Central Conference scheduled for September 22-24 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. It's a great way to learn more about how Adobe Acrobat and PDF can solve your most critical business needs.

Several Adobe product specialists like Lisa Croft, Paul Gilbertson and PDF gurus like Ted Padova, Duff Johnson, Angie Okamoto, Bob Connolly, Thom Parker and others will be there to present and meet with Acrobat users itching to learn more.
