Adobe Systems Inc (Nasdaq:ADBE) has announced a public preview of its Adobe Acrobat 3D Version 8 software.

This is the latest upgrade to Adobe's desktop application for driving PDF document-based 3D design collaboration and computer-aided design (CAD) data interoperability capabilities across the enterprise.

According to the company, Acrobat 3D Version 8 enables design engineering, technical publishing and creative professionals in manufacturing industries such as automotive, aerospace and heavy machinery, as well as the AEC market, to convert 3D CAD files and other project data into a compressed PDF document.

Once 3D models are in PDF, Acrobat 3D Version 8 users can enable extended teams to participate in a document review process using the free Adobe Reader software. Adobe Reader users can view detailed product structure and, when enabled by Acrobat 3D Version 8, have the ability to use commenting, measurement and cross-section tools directly on 3D objects in PDF files, Adobe said.

The free, fully functional beta version of Acrobat 3D Version 8 is available now in English, French and German language versions at http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/acrobat3d_version8.> Acrobat 3D Version 8 is expected to be available in spring 2007 for an estimated price of USD995.
