This is a tough one. I've never tried it before. The first thing to determine is, are views part of the COS structure. You'll need to look it up in the PDF Reference. Next, if is does turn out to be in COS, use [url=http://www.windjack.com/products/pdfcanopener.php]PDF CanOpener[/url] to look at several views created manually, and then use PDF CanOpener to create a view. Once you've done this you are ready to write SDK code to create a view.

If veiws are not in COS, then they are part of the U3D spec, you'll need to read that, then use the SDK to extract and modify the U3D data stream. PDF CanOpener will also be a big help for this.
