Hi Experts,
 
I want to use Acrobat 3D inside an iFrame to view a product on a web page. Is it possible to control the PDF from the Browser via JavaScript?
 
For example I want to change the material of the 3D objects in html and instantly visualize this in the PDF. I know how easy it would be using PDF only, but unfortunately this is not an option right now.
 
Thanks for any hint!
- Jess

Actually, Yes, there is a way to do this. But be warned, it's a limited and unreliable methodology. Acrobat 7.05 introduced the ability to pass messages in-betweeen Browser JavaScript on an HTML page and JavaScript inside a PDF. There is an example on this web page. Scroll down to "Extreme JavaScript" and look for the "IE Browser/Acrobat Intercommunication" link.
