Tetra 4D Announces Release of 3D PDF Converter v. 3.2

By DE Editors

Tetra 4D has announced the release of 3D PDF Converter v. 3.2. 3D PDF Converter is the exclusive solution for importing native 3D CAD data into interactive 3D PDF documents, using Adobe Acrobat X Pro. With this release, 3D PDF Converter v. 3.2 now supports all major CAD data formats, including Inventor 2011/2012, SolidWorks 2010/2011, Siemens NX 7.5, and CATIA V5R20. 

Built upon the original 3D technology from Adobe, 3D PDF Converter allows users to import 3D models directly into Acrobat, maintaining the full attributes of the model, including assembly structure, accurate geometry, product manufacturing information (PMI) and metadata. By using the PRC file format, downstream consumers of the 3D PDF document can export exact B-rep geometry from the PDF as STEP, IGES, or Parasolid files for use in CAD/CAM/CAE, and other downstream processes. 

Export to STL is also supported for 3D printing. The 3D Reviewer application, included as part of 3D PDF Converter v. 3.2, enables advanced editing and preparation of the 3D data by creating animations, views, cross-sections, and bills of material prior to final publishing to 3D PDF.

3D PDF Converter and 3D PDF Converter Suite, which includes Adobe Acrobat X Pro, are available now for free trial in English, German, French and Japanese language through the Tetra 4D online store and our global network of authorized resellers.
