I am attmepting to embed a 3D object into my Word report using the embed button on the Acrobat ribbon (Word 2007). I can do this successfuly and even get the content to activate allowing 3D manipulation within Word.
My problem is that when i now go to save this document as a pdf using the create a pdf button the resulting pdf file loses the 3D functionality with only a picture being inplace of the 3D content.
If I create a 3D pdf directly from Acrobat 3D and select the same CAD file directly as used within Word I can successfuly create a 3D pdf but this is then it's own document and not within my report.
How can I retaing the 3D content within my report into a PDF document, i must be doing something wrong??
Additionaly is it correct to say that the 3D content within the Word document (or any Office document) will only retain it's 3D functionality while the original 3D file remains on the same computer and in the same place i.e. the Word document is not portable?
Thanks.
