Adobe Brings New Dimension To Digital Documentation
|
How much more efficient would your company's - or customer's - mechanics be if the technical documentation they relied on included animated, interactive, 3D how-to demonstrations right next to existing step-by-step work instructions? You may soon find out, thanks to the latest wrinkle of a product that you probably already have on your desktop.
The new version of Adobe Acrobat includes features that will jump out to even the most seasoned users of the popular digital document-making software. Adobe executives are confident that the enhancements will make the product significantly more relevant to engineers, technical publishers, and, for that matter, anyone else that relies on documentation to work on aircraft. Adobe Acrobat 3D, slated to hit the market on Jan. 23, allows users to incorporate sophisticated three-dimensional renderings, like those created in major computer assisted design (CAD) programs, into PDF (portable document format) documents. But that's just the beginning: The renderings can be animated and manipulated in myriad ways by anybody that has the latest version of Adobe's free Acrobat 7.0 reader. Faithful Acrobat users may know that, starting with Adobe's 7.0 Professional release last year, the company added the ability for users to mark up PDF documents sent to them for review by adding notes directly to the PDFs.
