You can then download and explore some of the winning entries in the 3D gallery here....

I particularly like the “Heart Structure, Function and Arrhythmias” [PDF: 6.6 MB] publication, it took first place in the Technical Publishing category.

It allows users to interact with objects through various means, including rotation and frame sequencing to show three-dimensional movies.

Also check the 3D human body model... ewwww! Well done Christian Lietzau :-)

Please excuse the 'Carry On' comedic title, just a quick reminder really.

I spoke today with someone using Acrobat but wondering how to convert a large number of existing documents, both PDF and Word into Accessible PDF. I believe he had almost got to the point of looking for some server based solution, when I reminded him of the batch processing commands in Acrobat professional.

Just look under
Advanced >> Documenbt Processing >> Batch Processing

Here you can easily create batch jobs that encapsulate many/all of the major commads that are available from the Acrobat menu system. Give it a try, it's ludicroulsly easy!

Oooh Matron!
