3ds max to 3d pdf

Hello everyone,

I am very excited about the possibility of putting my 3d projects into a 3d pdf.  I work in 3ds max and have attempted to create my first 3d pdf with some problems.

First: the only file type exported from 3ds max that I can get into acrobat 9 pro extended without errors is .3ds.

Question: Is this the best/only format I can use from 3ds max?

Second: The model will import from a .3ds file, but there are no textures.

Question:  How do I get my textures imported along with the model?

Third:  Some of the geometry does not import into the pdf the way it was originally modeled.

Question: Is there a work around for this issue?

If anyone has any suggestions for these issues or can point me to some good tutorials on going models from 3ds max to 3d pdf.  I would be greatly appreciated.

BTW. I was at the adobe summit this year and saw some really cool models and interactivity with 3d pdf's.  My goal is to be able to reproduce what I saw.
