Submitting Issues and Feature Requests

What can you do if you think you found a bug or have an idea for improving Acrobat 3D, or for that matter, any other Adobe software or service? You can submit feedback directly to Adobe using an online form and hearing about technical issues and product/service suggestions is extremely valuable in helping us make our software perform better and it won’t take you very much time...

Often people encounter problems with software and are not sure what to do to get help resolving issues. There are different options depending on the maintenance and support (M&S) plan you or you company may have purchased. Your M&S plan may range from ‘none’ to ‘enterprise support’. For those folks who do not have an M&S support plan, there are various free public online forums where members provide each other support and many people from Adobe participate and help as time permits. I participate in the Adobe Acrobat User Community which can be found here.

If you have uncovered a bug, want to let us know about an idea you have for a product feature, or have some other suggestion for ways we can improve the software, please use this submittal form.

Acrobat 3D Version 8 'Classroom in Book' Now Available

Many people have asked about training options for Acrobat 3D and now there is a great resource available for self-paced instruction from AdobePress.


You can find the book here

Here is an exceprt from the AdobePress site describing the book:

Realizing that the users Acrobat 3D is designed for--creative and engineering design pros who work with complex electronic documents--aren't going to interrupt their production cycles to take a class, Adobe has brought the classroom to them. Through a series of self-paced lessons (each of which builds on the last and includes hands-on projects that the reader can create using the files on the accompanying DVD), this guide acquaints users with all of Acrobat 3D's regular features for creating, reviewing, editing, commenting on, restructuring, and preflighting PDF files. It also includes thorough coverage of Acrobat 3D’s new industrial-strength features, such as creating Adobe PDF documents with 3D designs from major CAD applications; inserting 3D CAD designs into Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint and converting to Adobe PDF; creating rich, interactive documents with 3D content and more. Professional tips and techniques are scattered throughout.
