Dear expert, Can I add a 3d annotation to a pdf document. To be specific what I want to do is invoke the "Add 3D Content" dialog using javascript. Is it possible? if the question is not clear please let me know. This is very much needed as we wanted to dynamically add 3d annotations to the pdf document whose pages are dynamically created? Appreciate your help in this regard.

There's no JavaScript API for this, but you can call the menu item for the 3D tool with the "app.execMenuItem()" function. To find out how to find out what the menu item name is, download the "menu item report generator" from this web page:

Thanks for the information. How can we feed the area, where the 3d annotation will be placed, dynamically?
