I create 3D PDF files and animated 3D PDF files by printing 3D PDF from Microstation (Bentley Architecture / Bentley Structure). These are extremely useful.
 
My client likes them so much he wants them on his website, and I want them on our website.
 
Our website is built in Flash.
 
We want to go beyond just a thumbnail link to a downloadable 3D PDF. I want the PDF window visible embedded on the Flash webpage, with the navigation controlon the window.
 
Is there a way to do this currently in Flash?
 
I posted the same question to a Bentley newsgroup:

There is no method for embedding 3D PDFs in Flash for playback in the Flash player. You could have a link in your Flash site for downloadable PDFs that launces the Reader locally on the desktop, i.e,. in a separate window.
