Manufacturers know that PDF files can contain useful, 3D models which may be manipulated inside Acrobat.

Did you know that you can also view the physical properties of 3D objects?

For example, how much does a part weigh?

Adobe's Jim Merry, a Business Development Manager for the Manufacturing industry, presents this episode.

Manufacturers need to offer suppliers and dealers instructions on how to assemble or disassemble the products they produce.

Since 3D files already exists for these products, why not simplify the job by using Acrobat Pro Extended to turn ordinary 3D files into compact PDF-based instructions sets, complete with expanded views and animation?

Adobe's Doug Halliday presents this podcast.

When you convert 3D models to PDF with Acrobat 9 Pro Extended you can now specify a template for structuring your document or control the layout of page by configuring the margins, page size, and orientation. You can also apply password-level security to the document as well and all of these settings can be stored as a conversion ‘preset’ for later reuse. Adobe’s Jim Merry shows you how this all works in this podcast.

Acrobat includes a number of built-in stamps which are useful. Sometimes, however, you need something different.

Did you know you can easily create your own custom stamp? Just create your stamp in the program of your choice and convert to PDF. The rest is easy once you view this podcast from Adobe's Jonathan Bowman.

Tip: Create your stamp using text or vector drawing tools to minimize file size.
