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 Adobea (TM)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.
AdobeA(R) AcrobatA(R) and PDF for Architecture, Engineering, and
Construction is designed to appeal to the engineering mind. The
book is a practical guide focusing on the applications of PDF in
the solution of "engineering" problems which may arise in a number
of disciplines from architecture to construction. Using real-world
examples, the authors follow a project from design through build
and long-term maintenance. As the sample project evolves, suitable
AcrobatA(R) tools and techniques are identified and brought into
play at each stage, showing readers how to personalize the context
and processes to meet their own project development and management
needs.
AdobeA(R) AcrobatA(R) and PDF for Architecture, Engineering, and
Construction is aimed at a professional and senior student audience
with levels of expertise in a variety of AEC sectors ranging from
the intermediate to advanced. It will be of direct importance to
anyone using ISO and IEEE standards such as the developing PDF/E
(engineering) and PDF/A (Archival).
Features of the book allowing the reader to take full advantage
of the power of PDF in an engineeringenvironment include:
- review tracking;
- geo-referenced drawings;
- common format CAD and configuration management;
- reduced review and approval time with better document
control;
- ease of collaboration with clients and permitting agencies
through common, completely searchable, document format;
- project management advice.
Additional features designed to facilitate self-teaching
are:
- chapter summaries;
- an example project used throughout the book to demonstrate the
use of the various PDF capabilities introduced with files which can
be downloaded from the authorsa (TM) website at
www.donnabaker.ca/Acrobat_for_AEC.html to keep track of the changes
chapter by chapter;
- other sample projects for readers to work with, offered by
industry leaders in several specialty areas;
- end-of-chapter exercises guiding the application of the
knowledge gained in each chapter.
For professionals of all shades from electrical, civil and
mechanical engineers to architects and construction managers.
