Every answer is welcome!

Thanks ...

Hi Christa,

Jordan from Tetra4D here. We are the exclusive providers of native 3D PDF technology to Adobe and offer a plugin for Acrobat XI/DC Pro that allows you to create 3D PDFs from over 20 native CAD formats. This is however a plugin only to Acrobat Pro, not Standard. We offer a discounted Upgrade Bundle that includes Tetra4D Converter and the latest Acrobat Pro from Adobe.

You can find out more information and begin a free trial for any of our software including Acrobat Pro at: www.tetra4d.com.

Also, feel free to reach out with any questions.

Thanks,

Thank you for your answer, Jordan!

But generally, is there a possibility to create 3d pdfs with Acrobat Standard?

[jordanopsahl]

My pleasure Christa. Our product is only compatible with Acrobat Pro and I am not aware of any other plugins to any version of Acrobat which will convert native CAD data to 3D PDF.

Happy to answer any other questions!

Jordan

Hi Christa,

I don't think that there are plug-ins for Acrobat Standard that can convert CAD files to 3D PDF. But, if you don't want to get Acrobat Pro, Datakit provides a standalone converter that can convert most CAD formats to 3DPDF: CrossManager​. It don't need any third party software to work.

Thanks Jordan and Felix!

I will have a deeper look at crossmanager, but at the moment, I think this programm contains too much posibilities for my applications.

Ok, you need to know that you don't have to buy all the inputs & outputs formats of CrossManager: you can get only the options that you are interested in.

In your case, you will just need to get the 3D PDF output, and the CAD input formats that you need to convert to 3D PDF.
