Theorem Solutions Has Released New Creo to 3D PDF Publisher

Theorem Solutions has released the latest Creo to 3D PDF publisher from the Publish product range. V23.3 supports Creo 4.0, 6.0 and 7.0.

Theorem’s 3D PDF products enable the publishing of 3D Creo data directly from within the design application into an interactive 3D PDF document format, or HTML5 output.

The published PDF document contains embedded interactive 3D representations of the native Creo data (within predefined templates), offering greater levels of intellectual property (IP) protection.

It also offers support for separate passwords to control the access to the document, as well as separate passwords to enable any editing of the 3D PDF output.

V23.3 supports model-based definition (MBD) and 3D annotations and dimensions (PMI) from Creo into the 3D PDF format.

Anybody with access to the freely available Adobe Reader, either on a PC, tablet or smartphone can access the interactive 3D data and are able to view, mark up and interrogate the document without the use of specialist CAD software. As 3D PDF is an ISO standard, the technology is easily integrated and can effectively become the protocol for easy document creation and communication.

3D PDF can be configured via the templates to distribute CAD models to different departments removing the need for physical documents and drawings to be shared. Use them for internal document sharing, or to create Work Instructions, RFQ’s, Training and Sales Documents, or for supplier communication.

Theorem’s solutions are built with development tools and APIs supplied and supported by major CAD vendors that the company has strategic partnerships with. This means the company does not reverse engineer and can provide users with a robust application that offers full control over data preparation and optimization for the target formats.

Theorem Solutions' partnership with PTC ensures that there is a parallel development between the latest releases of Creo and Theorem’s 3D PDF products, allowing Theorem to continue to provide publishing solutions to the Creo community.
