Architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) firms face a variety of challenges, including globally dispersed project teams, fast-track schedules, vast quantities of documentation, multiple systems, and working with various file formats. To succeed in today's fast-paced, highly competitive global economy, AEC firms must have a reliable, efficient way to exchange 2D designs and 3D models, specifications, contracts, and other project information with team members and clients — while helping to protect sensitive information.
Fortunately, Adobe® Acrobat® 9 software helps facilitate more secure, expedited design collaboration between you, your extended team, and your clients.
Use Acrobat 9 to:
- Organize complex documents and CAD drawings into rich PDF Portfolios
- Create dynamic 3D PDF files from IFC files
- Conduct more efficient project reviews
- Compare changes between document versions
- Clearly communicate field conditions by embedding video in a PDF file
- Collaborate with remote colleagues in real time
- Reach decisions faster by creating PDF forms and automating common workflows such as RFIs, submittals, change orders, and bid responses
- Create self-running safety and training presentations complete with quizzes using Adobe Presenter software, now included with Acrobat Pro Extended
