Hello everyone,

I have seen a few 3D PDFs that you can rotate and view the object from all sides. I would like to know if I can create them through the Adobe programs? All of my search seem to point to CAD or rendering a 3D look but not being able to rotate the object. Thanks for any leads.

I know Adobe FrameMaker can import .u3D files and export to PDF.

You can also import ,u3D and ,prc files directly into Acrobat under the Rich Media tools.

You can _create_ the 3D files in any program that exports to the formats.

Adobe's 3D programs are called Adobe Substance. https://www.adobe.com/products/substance3d.html

Thank you for the info. Dimensions seemed interesting, however, I do not
seem to find the ability to view the object 360 degrees once it's rendered.
It does very nice real-life 3d view but unless I'm mistaken, once rendered,
it becomes a simple image. Thanks again for taking the time to reply.

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.
