Guest ebedding Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 The new free Adobe Reader 8.0 has full markup capability of "Enabled" .pdf drawings. Download: http://www.adobe.com/products/reader/ I have an old version (7.0) of Acrobat Professional that has the magic button: "Enable for commenting and analysis in Adobe Reader". It would be amazing if IronCad could add in this "Enable" feature to the existing save as .pdf functionality. This would really crank up collaboration with other non-Cad people who could markup the .pdf's using the new Reader 8.0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cary OConnor Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 I'm not sure the Markup stuff works in the REader version (I can't seem to find it). They mention something about online collab, but I don't see it in standalone. You can see comments but not add (at least I can't). Acrobat probably has it. Not sure how they have it working on the 3D at the moment. I will need to test that. Cary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ebedding Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 Hi Cary, I have attached a .pdf that I "enabled" in Acrobat Pro. Save it to your desktop and open it in Adobe Reader 8. You should see the markup tools activated. You will not see the markup tools activated on a standard .pdf that is not enabled. I believe you need to open the .pdf directly in Adobe Reader 8.0 not in a browser window version of pdf. Erik I'm not sure the Markup stuff works in the REader version (I can't seem to find it).

Jonas@Solidmakarna Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 Hi, I'm using Reader 7.0.9 and have a toolbar called "Comments" which allows me to add text and mark/underline existing text/dimensions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Andersson Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 works nice in 7.0 Reader also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cary OConnor Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 OK. I see it now. It is pretty nice. Have you tried this capability on 3D PDF data? Cary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ebedding Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 I generate 3D views from .ics by orienting the view, dragging in a white background, print to .pdf, open in Acrobat, then save enabled. See example attached. For .icd files I use the R Click in my file browser & export to .pdf which works great for copies of old revs ect. 3D_Output_Example.pdf 63620_900mm_Z_AXIS_TOP_ASSY.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cary OConnor Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 How do you get the markups on the 3D sample file that Bernd posted? Cary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernd Meißner Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 (edited) How do you get the markups on the 3D sample file that Bernd posted? Cary 16867[/snapback] Cary, when opening this file in Reader (7.0.7 and newer required for full 3D support), the TOOLS menu should have additional entries for comments and markup. I just made a screenshot, but somehow I'm currently unable to upload this file (blank screen after "Add this Attachment"). OK, now I've uploaded it to our website... see the screenshot here: Adobe Reader Comments Bernd Edited February 2, 2007 by Bernd Meißner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
