camera

You will need to create the camera animation in the Adobe 3D Toolkit and you will need to use U3D as the geometry format for storing 3D data inside of PDF.

You may have best results using the following workflow:

1) Create the PDF with 3D content using U3D as geometry storage
2) Activate the 3D object and right click
3) Select 'Edit in Toolkit' from context-sensitive menu
4) Author Keyframe animation in Toolkit; here you can edit geometry position/rotation/scale/transparency and create camera position/target animation events.
5) Choose Save from the File menu in Toolkit
6) Go back to Acrobat 3D and activate the 3D object; You should now see your changes in PDF

You can leave Acrobat 3D and the Toolkit up now and round-trip edit as many times as you like.

I checked with the engineering group and they report that the animation playback mechanism in Acrobat is ignoring camera animations if they are present in U3D. You will need to implement your desired animation behavior using model transformations.

Dear 3D expert, I followed the steps but it still doesn't work for me. I don't know what I am missing, could you help me please, or I need some java script to embed to the file? Please help. Thank alot
