Is the PDF the backbone of today’s construction industry? Today, it’s easy to say yes.
About 89% of all computers have Free Adobe Reader installed. Adobe’s Flash player is the standard for motion graphics, residing on an astounding 98% of all desktops.
That’s why Adobe PDFs and Flash files have become the best way to exchange construction information. And with Acrobat 9, Flash has been integrated into the PDF itself.
No surprise, of the billion-plus Adobe PDF documents created, a growing share has been for engineering and architecture projects.
Why are so many construction teams building with Adobe? Besides being more accessible to a wide audience, documents made with Acrobat 9 now meet rigorous standards for CAD systems, BIM modeling, and GIS mapping. Plus they have secure, easy-to-use tools for commenting, redlining, and other common project review methods.
Best yet, using the Free Adobe Reader any AEC team can “Reader Enable” key files. That lets you open all the files in the PDFs and use the same review and commenting tools that all Acrobat users have – free. Plus all AEC team members can fill in and submit data on forms, and even supply digital signatures.
These built-in features of Acrobat PDFs make project data and documents more accessible to project teams, clients and authorities. They instantly reduce project schedules and help prevent cost overruns. By delivering full project info while controlling document versions and authorization, Acrobat 9 actually reduces the risks of errors and omission.
Adobe Acrobat 9 delivers advanced AEC features that ensure the best interoperability and expanded capabilities for your project teams.
