Hi, I'm from Mexico and my english is too bad.

I need help about a 3D into PDF file.

I has a PDF with 3D (autocad 3D model) inserted, but I need PDF files linked inside the 3D model. Can I do that?

This is an example. My PDF has a 3D model (automobile) inserted. I don't have any problem to navigate into the 3D, but I want to select any piece (ex. tire) and then open a linked PDF brochure about the tire (ex. Bridgetone, Goodyear, Pirelli, etc. data sheet).

Anybody help me?

Thanks!!!

Acrobat, Windows

It's possible, but not trivial. You will need to capture the mouse activity within the 3D scene using JavaScript, and work out what part the user has selected; then use it to open your brochure (either by moving to a different page or opening an attachment).

There are a few examples around on the Web, but to put it bluntly, you'll have to learn the 3D functions from the Acrobat SDK and write your own code, as the links will be document-specific.

Thanks mvid!!

But I did'nt find solution to my problem yet.

I can insert the 3d into the PDF. Once opened the PDF and 3D is active, I need a PDF linked to any 3D component. For example, if my 3D inside the PDF is a car, when you select a "tire" I need a PDF datasheet linked (Michellin, Bridgetone, Pirelli, etc. technical specification). I don't know linking the datasheet.

they use a mixture of 3D model JavaScript and document-level JavaScript.
Use a tool to decompress HyperlinkExample.pdf and look into result with text or text/binary editor to pick JavaScript pieces (or use some kind of PDF disassembler). I used Multivalent20060102 to decompress and vim to view uncompressed PDF.
