History
• 2005 – Adobe establishes relationship with Right Hemisphere to add 3D technology to Acrobat
• 2006 – Adobe acquires TTF SARL, the developers of PRC and the importer technology
• 2007 – Adobe release Acrobat 7.1, first 3D release• 2010 – Adobe forms relationships with Tech Soft 3D
and PROSTEP AG to take over product development, sales, support; Tetra 4D created to develop and market Acrobat Pro plug-in
• 2011 – Several ISV’s meet at COFES and discuss the idea of a consortium around 3D PDF
• Jan 3, 2012 – 3D PDF Consortium formally incorporated
What is 3D PDF?
• a PDF that contains U3D¹ or PRC² data• PDF’s with U3D or PRC can be read by any
supported version of the Acrobat Reader• 3D PDF was defined and developed, and
continues to be supported by, Adobe• 3D PDF is an active part of the existing PDF
standardization activities
¹ U3D = Universal 3D, developed by Boeing, Intel, Adobe² PRC = Product Representation Compact, developed by Adobe
3D PDF Content Standards Status
• U3D– U3D developed by 3D Industry Forum (3dif.org)– U3D currently an ECMA standard (363) under TC43– U3D Edition 1 is specified by PDF/E (ISO 24517-1)
• PRC– Specification published by Adobe in 2008 (PDF 1.7)– Released to ISO TC 171 for standardization in 2008– Currently managed by ISO DIS 14739 under TC
171 SC 2– Establishes 3D standard to be referenced by PDF
(ISO 32000) and others
ISO32000 is PDF…

Five Reasons Why 3D PDF is Important
1. Universal access – through Acrobat Reader
2. Compound document– 3D, 2D, image, text, audio, video, enterprise data
3. Infrastructure availability– Existing systems already support PDF
4. True neutrality– Protects investment
5. Superior value– No other platform presents as much opportunity for
gain, for such little risk

LEGEND
3D PDF in use at Boeing
Boeing Commercial Airplanes• 3D PDF used for 787
Dreamliner publications• Proprietary visualization used
for “in-process” work• Catia V5 data published into
3D PDF format and deposited into a global repository
• > 400,000 3D PDF’s in repository
• View manipulation, search and filtering capability
• Includes geometry and bill of materials information
3D PDF in use at Grundfos
Grundfos Group• 55 companies in 82 countries
• Catia used across the enterprise for design; data managed by Enovia in process
• Commercial visualization tool for in-process visualization
• Workflow stage triggers publishing into 2D and 3D PDF’s
• Published data managed in SAP PLM
• Includes geometry and bill of materials information
3D PDF in use at US Army
US Department of Defense• One study, one part:
– 59% decrease in time-to-deploy– $1.2M savings in 3600 parts
• DLA survey of benefits of “modern” TDP
– 27% reduction in procurement costs– 19% reduction in scrap and rework
• Department of Defense is embracing 3D PDF for Model Based Enterprise
• Major weapons systems likely deployed with 3D PDF
• Technical Data Packages and Digital Work Instructions can be delivered via 3D PDF via MilStd31000
• Over 4,000 bases, repair depots, field service locations will be able to use 3D PDF
3D PDF CONSORTIUM OVERVIEW
“The need for leadership is apparent. The importance of leadership is obvious. The position of leadership is vacant”
- AIA 2004 Report - The Future of Aerospace Standardization
What is the 3DPDF Consortium?
• Not a standards organization per se• A community dedicated to driving adoption of
3DPDF enabled solutions across industries• End-user needs driven• A worldwide, non-profit, member organization• Open to all companies

What is the commitment?
• Beyond dues, there is no “contractual” commitment
however….
• Meeting goals requires participation:– Officers: 4 – 8 hours per month– Board members: 8 – 10 hours per quarter– Committee chairs: 4 – 8 hours per month– Committee members: 8 – 16 hours per month
• The above are a) estimates, and b) additive
