Acrobat 3D Version 8 gets CAD Translator Update. The update contains several updated dynamic link libraries (DLLs) that provide support for more recent versions of CAD file formats when using Acrobat 3D Version 8 and Acrobat 3D Toolkit Version 8. It also fixes a number of issues related to CAD format import in Acrobat 3D Version 8.

So this is great news for all of you out there importing 3D CAD content into your PDF files.  Click here to get the Update.  After downloading a “.msi” file, (make sure to save the download to a location on your computer that you will remember), in Windows, double-click on the “.msi” file to begin the update process.  This process may require restarting your computer.

This update requires that you have Acrobat 3D 8.1.1 or later is installed on your system. You may have Acrobat 3D 8 but never applied the service patches.  You must apply the service patches before you install this update.  To determine which version of Acrobat 3D you have currently installed, choose Help > About Adobe Acrobat 3D Version 8. The version number appears in the upper left corner below the Adobe Acrobat logo.

    CAD format import to Acrobat Professional / 3D Versions

    How reliable floor measurements of an Acrobat drawing compared to an AutoCAD original?
    I have used this method but only for quick measures, - will that much measured in a non-traditional format stand up in court? I have several floors with 3-4 wings each of a large hospital to re-measure for the annual cost report. I was told Acrobat measurements could replace the electronic AutoCAD measurement.

    What can you advise?
