Introduction 3D Reviewer is a separate application included with the Adobe 3D PDF Converter. 3D Reviewer is used for advanced preparation of 3D CAD data before saving to 3D PDF. It has the capability to bring in any native CAD geometry, convert and merge CAD files, manage and edit 3D CAD models, move and delete parts and components, measure parts, add 3D markups, create snapshots, and much more. This document will introduce many of these basic features to train the User how to manage and edit the 3D CAD geometry for advanced preparation before saving to a 3D PDF document. This training material is designed for you to learn at your own pace the fundamental concepts and features you’ll need for 3D Reviewer. The lessons in this book offers step-by-step instructions in the use of software following a process-driven orientation. Although each lesson provides instructions in a sequential order, there is room for exploring and experimenting on your own. You can follow the book from start to finish or do only the steps that match your interest and needs.
