Adobe Systems introduced a new software package aimed at helping manufacturers create and share documents in the name of accelerating the process of designing and building products. <A HREF="http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1895,1913872,00.asp">Dubbed as Acrobat 3-D,</A> the system offers the ability for manufacturing companies to author, edit, and distribute documents that offer many of the same functions available in today's engineering applications, such as those used in CAD (computer aided design) programs. The package comes from Adobe's Knowledge Worker business unit and is built on the same technological underpinnings used in the company's existing Acrobat products and Breeze collaboration software.
