Since last friday, I'm unable to open 3D PDF's generated in SolidWorks 2017 SP3.
After I created a 3D PDF in SW, I tried opening it with Adobe Acrobat DC. Adobe return a parsing problem.
This was the first time I encoutered these problems. I tried to find a solution using the Solidworks forum, but no result.
I tried opening the 3D PDF on other computers (both Apple and PC) thet didn't have any problems with the files.
I don't know where else to look for a solution.

Hi,
I had this issue with my Adobe Acrobat Pro DC and Adobe Acrobat DC reader and the "solution" we found to fix it was this one:
Go in the Adobe cache folder:
C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Local\Adobe\Acrobat
Then rename the folders:
DC --> DC_old
and
2015 --> 2015_old
(you can delete those folders, they will be re-created, but I prefer the renaming ).
Then run your program, it should be OK.

Hi all,
The solution working good but regularly after each case below, we must delete entirely then folder named DC.
- Windows update
- Video driver update
- Adobe update
Good luck.

Hi there,
Yes, this is "simply" a bypass, Adobe is informed about this. We are still waiting for a fix...
But for me, it works "every time" I get this issue...

2. Please share the file that you created via SolidWorks 2017 SP3
3. Please share the OS that you are testing on - Windows or MAC and the versions too.
