“I bought ProtoTech’s 3D PDF Exporter plug-in for Inventor 2 years ago and have loved it ever since. When Inventor came with its own converter built in I considered switching over to that. I convert large models for viewing by my clients. The In-built Inventor converter takes much longer…even with the most simplified settings. The 3DPDF Exporter plug-in from ProtoTech Solutions is way more refined and handles large models with ease. It is easy to use, intuitive and makes smaller output files with great quality. Plus the makers of the program give it exceptional support.”
–Phil Tschirn, CEO, TECHNIGRAPHICA.
“Great Plugin! Bridges the software gap between supplier and client.”
–Will Wright, EAFab Corporation
“3DPDF Exporter For Inventor from ProtoTech is great product and the support is equally good. Thanks!”

–Franz Kefer, gfm.at
“I recently purchased the 3D PDF module for Inventor from ProtoTech Solutions and I am delighted with it. Also, I was really glad to see that they have added Inventor weld entity recognition to the newest revision. Another great feature that was added is the ability to disable the measurement tool when you send a file which adds much more security to your models. I am very happy with the software and the service from ProtoTech Solutions.”
–Mark Killion, CEO- 3D BY KILLION
