Converting 3D CAD to PDF on a server

Apologies to the RSS Subscribers!

If you are subscribed to this blog via an RSS reader, I would like to apologize for all the updates to the entries today. I recently replaced my PC and resulting ripple of software updates continues to move through my entire workflow process. I had to install new versions of all the applications I use, including Adobe's Contribute CS 3 for editing this blog, and just noticed that the commenting feature was not activated for blog entries. And so now it is... So, you shouldn't see so many of these updates to the same articles going forward.

About this Blog

My name is Jim Merry. I am a business development manager at Adobe and currently focused on building awareness and driving adoption of Adobe's 3D PDF platform within the manufacturing sector in North America. As not that many people are aware that PDF can support 3D manufacturing data or that Acrobat 3D even exists today, a large part of what I do involves 'spreading the word' by speaking at tradeshows, seminars, user groups and other events. This blog will contain notes about when these events are happening, what kind of questions I am hearing from customers and from time to time, some thoughts about general trends in the manufacturing sector.

I hope that this blog will become a venue for 2-way communication and encourage anyone reading this to post comments with your thoughts or questions. The comments are moderated by me but only to avoid spamming. As I also have a regular day job here at Adobe, there may be some lag before you see your comments posted but I will try to keep that to a minimum.
