Beschreibung:
Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) is a $3.4 trillion industry in which documentation is the basis for the delivery of products and services. Such documentation is the currency of AEC projects and can be a complex mixture of drawings and specifications. Sharing and archiving documents requires a safe, small and smart format, a role for which Adobe's portable document format (PDF) is ideally suited. PDF has become the de facto standard for submission and distribution of these documents in government and regulatory agencies, world-wide.
This handbook teaches the use of PDF in communication and archiving of complex documents, with a specific slant towards engineering disciplines and related areas of architecture and construction management. The text demonstrates how better document control reduces project review and approval times, and smoothes interaction with clients and regulatory agencies by employing a completely searchable document format which is available to all. The author explains and illustrates the application of Acrobat techniques by following the progress of a sample project throughout the book, and end-of-chapter exercises promote self-instruction.
