Tips and Tricks for Using Acrobat 8 Professional.
(March, 9 2007)
Managing various documents and reviews while handling big rolls of drawings can be inefficient and time-consuming—not to mention wasted money reproducing and distributing for reviewers and team members far away. There is a better, more efficient way. In the guide, you’ll learn how Acrobat 8 Professional can help you compile one comprehensive PDF that:

• Makes it easier to view and work with large-format documents—using pan and zoom functions that mimic CAD
• Makes it simple for non-CAD users to view and manipulate
• Simplifies shared reviews in real-time—without IT assistance—for faster collaboration
• Achieves PDF/A compliance—using industry-standard forms
• Improves security that allows you to grant or restrict user access and activity—with 128-bit encryption

Autodesk Solutions for Utilities: Manage your Utility Infrastructure
(July, 18 2008)
In this webcast Alan Saunders and Pete Southwood show you how AutoCAD® Map 3D is a better AutoCAD for utilities with tools that help you clean up and classify data from multiple sources to create basemaps, easily standardize data, reduce drafting time with simplified workflows, build intelligence (feature classes and attributes) into the object during the design process, and facilitate easy movement of design data into records (GIS).

Also, you'll get a preview into other Autodesk Utility Solutions that help to ensure engineering design accuracy and standardization, as well as solutions that help to better manage as-builts and provide accurate asset information to the field.
