Acrobat Plugs In To FedEx Kinkos; Users Get Long Awaited New Features And 3D Interaction

June 16, 2007 Blog No Comments

Adobe Systems has announced “a major upgrade” to its Adobe Acrobat product line. Perhaps the most exciting is Acrobat 3D, software that enables CAD, CAM, and CAE application users to convert virtually any CAD file to a highly compressed, more secure Adobe PDF file for CAD data interoperability, collaboration, and visualization. What’s really cool about the product is that it allows the recipients of your PDF to see, zoom, rotate, measure and interact with the images, and view, sort, and search through comments and Product Manufacturing Data embedded in the file—even if they only have the free Adobe Reader (finally). Now that’s progress! See what’s new (short, effective animated simulation).

Adobe also announced availability of Acrobat 8.1. One of the most useful (and surprising features) is the inclusion of the Print Online feature that provides PDF file users with a direct connection to FedEx/Kinkos Online. Now you can send PDF files directly to FedEx Kinko’s for printing, binding, and shipping without ever leaving the comfort of your PDF.

While you’re thinking PDF, why not upgrade your version of Adobe Reader (Version 8.1) or visit the Adobe Acrobat User Community.
