Press Release Body = SAN JOSE, Calif. - March 29, 2007 - Adobe Systems Incorporated
(Nasdaq:ADBE) today announced a public preview of Adobe® Acrobat® 3D Version 8
software, a major upgrade to the desktop application for driving PDF document-based
3D design collaboration and computer-aided design (CAD) data interoperability
capabilities to virtually anyone across the extended enterprise. Starting
immediately, users worldwide can download a beta version of the product free from
Adobe Labs, and experience the new and enhanced capabilities it will deliver for
professionals in the manufacturing and architecture, engineering and construction
(AEC) industries. The preview can be downloaded at
labs.adobe.com/technologies/acrobat3d_version8/ .

"Acrobat 3D and PDF have gained considerable traction in manufacturing and AEC over
the past year as a means for driving 3D-based communication and collaboration
processes leveraging a ubiquitous, trusted file format," said Tom Hale, senior vice
president, Knowledge Worker Business Unit at Adobe. "Today, we're excited to provide
users around the world free access to a beta of Acrobat 3D Version 8. We encourage
anyone with interest in 3D to experience the dramatic advances we've made in terms
of file compression, precision and CAD data interoperability. We look forward to
hearing the thoughts and first-hand experiences of users throughout the preview
period."

With Acrobat 3D Version 8, design engineering, technical publishing and creative
professionals in manufacturing industries such as automotive, aerospace and heavy
machinery, as well as the AEC market, can convert virtually any 3D CAD file and
other critical project data into a highly compressed PDF document with precise
geometry. The PDF file can then be shared with colleagues, suppliers, partners, and
customers for more secure visualization, collaboration and CAD data interoperability
in an archival-quality format.

Once 3D models are in PDF, Acrobat 3D Version 8 users can enable extended teams to
participate in an efficient document review process leveraging the free, ubiquitous
Adobe Reader® software. Adobe Reader users can view detailed product structure and,
when enabled by Acrobat 3D Version 8, have the ability to use commenting,
measurement and cross-section tools directly on 3D objects in PDF files (1).
