In addition to Alan Houser's reply, relating to the next version of FrameMaker: 3D Assistant (TimeSavers add-on) enables you to embed U3D files and define related views, links, bookmarks & JavaScript (including custom interactivity, menus and tools) through hypertext markers or referenced files, so that interactive 3D models, together with their specified features, are automatically present in the PDF file upon distilling. Sample 3D-PDF files demonstrating capabilities and concepts are available at http://www.microtype.com/Showcase3DAsst.html (all files authored in FM, no post-distilling steps taken in Acrobat). This solution applies to all FrameMaker/Windows versions + Distiller 7 or higher + TimeSavers 4 or higher (with Distiller 8.1, PRC 3D files are supported in addition to U3D) Shlomo Perets MicroType, http://www.microtype.com * ToolbarPlus Express for FrameMaker FrameMaker/Acrobat training & consulting * FrameMaker-to-Acrobat TimeSavers/Assistants FM-to-PDF Assistants: Navigation, Form, Presentation, Multimedia & 3D
