Description
With Creo Parametric 13.4.0.0, you can use enhanced Advanced 3D PDF Export option.
This Advanced option has all the capabilities of the Basic version. In addition, you can export your Creo data to a custom 3D PDF template or select from additional default templates included with this release.
You can export to a custom template by uploading an XML file in the export options.
Available default templates include the Standard and Approval templates for both parts and assemblies, with additional out-of-the-box templates planned for future releases.
The basic 3D PDF template has been updated to better align with the Creo look and feel.
Batch export is supported, allowing multiple 3D PDFs to be generated in a single operation.
