This is my first post on this forum. I have been using Acrobat Pro and 3D for about a year. I have a question if some would not mine answering. All who are using the 3D function in Acrobat. Are you working within a large company or a small company providing 3D docs to customers for their use?

I am trying to develop this as a business and want to know if anyone else is having success. As a side note for the users in large companies, how are the 3D pdf's being received? Good/Bad/Indifferent??

Thanks for any answers or suggestions.

Don

Hi Don,
I realize you are looking for outside companies to provide feedback on how Acrobat 3D and 3D PDF are being received in the marketplace. In a recent study by Design News, 3D PDF was the leading choice among all vendors when user firms were asked about awareness and use of Acrobat 3D. 97% of the firms were aware and 60% used or planned to use it in the next year. I'm not sure what you mean by a business opportunity, but the experience has been very positive. We can possibly hook you up with customer companies who have agreed to be reference accounts for Adobe.

Hope this helps,
Doug Halliday

Doug, thanks

I am calling local companies (small to med size) and telling them of the 3D capability in pdf's. And offering to show them more ideas were they maybe able to use it in their business. This is for businesses that have a produce to sell vs a service business. Hard to model services ;)

I have a number of leads but it has not generated any business. It sounds like the market is changing and that this could become a very active area.

I noticed you have AUC expert. What does that mean?

Anything 3D!?!
