3D PDF from THE Source

Convert. Visualize. Share.tetra4D, the world’s leading provider of solutions for converting native 3D CAD data into rich, interactive 3D PDF documents now provides a variety of new 3D PDF plug-ins for leading CAD applications. It’s easier than ever to generate rich 3D PDF documents including BIM data, textures, colors and more to share with anyone, anywhere.

With the availability of our 3D PDF Plug-ins Package for Autodesk users, the value for companies with multiple Autodesk products deployed is outstanding. Your 3D PDF plug-ins will always be in sync with the Autodesk release cycle ensuring your access to the ubiquitous standard for open viewing of 3D CAD data.

Key CapabilitiesShare 3D CAD data with anyone, anywhere. With our 3D PDF Plug-ins, you can leverage the model information inside your CAD application to fully communicate with everyone in your extended team – no matter where they are – and never worry about whether they have the right viewing software. Everyone has the Adobe Reader, and they know how to use it. All 3D information including colors and textures are maintained accurately in the 3D PDF. You can also include any or all of your 2D drawing information as part of a single highly-consumable PDF document.

Merge 2D and 3D data into a purpose built PDF document. Easily combine 3D model data, multiple PDFs, and even 2D data from other documents into a single purpose-built PDF document.

Create unique templates for each client project. Create rich, engaging 3D PDF templates configured to your specific needs with the built-in Template Designer. Quickly customize templates to include unique background images, add your company logo, include a title block, set paper size, resolution and save to your template library. You can even add hyperlinks within the PDF. Then save to a template library for reuse. PDF templates help you expand the use of your valuable 3D data outside of the CAD environment.

With the click of a button you can easily generate an HTML file with your 3D PDF embedded, which you can then publish to your website. Simply embed the HTML file within your website and you’re done! When customers visit your website, the 3D PDF, including any customized templates you have used, will display using the free Adobe Reader’s standard functionality. The PDF can be viewed within Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Safari, and any other supported browser.

Secure the intellectual property contained within your 3D PDFs by applying password security when you create them from inside your CAD application. Ensure your 3D PDFs are only opened by the intended recipient. To enable advanced security and collaboration features in Adobe Reader, consider adding Acrobat XI Pro.
