I'm using Acrobat 9 Pro Extended and I'm trying to find the best conversion from Solid Edge. I have tried the direct .ASM but on some complex models, it errors out with "Exception has been raised". I've tried JT, STP and STL with success. However, one issue I'm having is with the model tree. On my PDF tree, each sub-assembly looks like this:

PDF Model Tree

Model
node
147453.asm
147453.asm
node
145828.prt
145828.prt
node
node

In my Solid Edge Model, my tree looks like this:

Model
147453.asm
145828.prt

Why all the duplicates and why all the "nodes" in the PDF tree? What format and options should I use to make the tree in the PDF look more like the tree in the model?

Thanks,

Jeff

Jeff,
I've got a similar result with each part being followed by a "node" or two "node" entries in some cases. Sometimes this is the flat sheet metal development added to the folded part but in other cases it just appears to be a duplicate part.

My problems extend to not being able to see some parts in an assembly. It's listed but nothing is visible. As if Acrobat had trouble with the triangulated mesh.

If you can post these files to a web server perhaps someone on the forums can have a look and make a suggestion. I do know that sometimes this is not possible.
