JT > 3D PDF

What is a 3D PDF?

In its simplest form a 3D PDF is a standard Adobe PDF document that contains interactive 3D content.

A PDF is a document format that can contain:

  • 2D Graphics

  • 3D Graphics (3D CAD model)

  • Attached files to form a Technical Data Package. The ability to interrogate and interact with the document.

  • The ability to universally review CAD with a free viewer.

  • Compressed data for optimum file size for sharing

  • Support for Model Based Definition (MBD)

  • The addition of 3D content to PDF allows your company:

    • To produce documents to fully describe the product

    • To achieve effective communication regarding product information.

    • To automate specific business processes

    • To improve understanding and eliminate ambiguity in relation to product data.

    • To create and extend customised, dynamic documents

    • To create rich documents with 3D content which can be consumed anywhere.

    • To create interactive and engaging documents such as brochures

    • It’s already used for documents which commonly relate to products e.g.; Request for Quotation, Engineering Change Requests, Bill of Material reports, Inspection Documents, Works instructions, Service manuals, Sales literature, etc.

What Is PUBLISH?

Theorem’s PUBLISH brand - offers a 3D PDF publishing solution for organisations who design with 3DEXPERIENCE, CATIA V5, Creo, NX or who want to extend the use of their JT data to create interactive 3D documentation in the form of 3DPDF.

The use of 3D PDF means that anybody can now consume, view and mark up 3D data with Adobe’s ubiquitous Reader, eliminating the need to install specialist viewing software or to be trained to use a special tool.

Designed for organisations of all sizes, PUBLISH solutions are based on the original Adobe® and vendor specific technology, therefore are fully compatible with Acrobat and native CAD systems enabling users to take the intelligence contained within a 3D model directly in to the world of PDF.

Theorem’s PUBLISH suite of products is powered by native Adobe® technology 3D PDF publishing toolkit, which is also used in Adobe Acrobat® and Adobe Reader®.
