PDF Navigation
Once the drawing is published as a PDF file, you can work with it in Acrobat or Adobe Reader 7.
Here are some activities you can try with the drawing:
x Open the Layers tab and note that all the files and levels that were included in the PDF can be turned off
and on - toggle several layers off and on.
x Search for the word Frame and note that two instances will appear in the results.

PDF Creation from MicroStation PDF Composer
The MicroStation PDF Composer is available to MicroStation V8 2004 Edition SELECT users. Design
files can have raster attachments and 3D models which can be represented in the PDF as interactive
Universal 3D (U3D) models. MicroStation PDF Composer also supports DWG files.
Creating the Composer Set
PDF Composer is an interface that runs outside the CAD environment to publish PDF documents from both
DGN and DWG files in a batch mode (Figure 6.19).
