Someone is asking me for a 3D PDF that has options to change to wireframe, shaded, etc. I don't know how to do it or if it is even possible.
I make 3D PDFs all the time but have never come accross an option to make it like this.
They said the pictures below are screenshots of just a regular adobe reader that they can rotate the part and change views.
Sorry I had to black out the parts. I can't share them.
Alex,
I just created a 3D PDF and opened it. My reader just updated this morning. If you right click on the model in the pdf click on viewing options then click model render mode to change the views.

Is this something that my customer would need to buy in order to control a Solidworks 3D PDF like that? Or is this something we need to buy and import it into Acrobat XI?
I edited the response above. Looks like it was part of an update or maybe it was there all along.
Chris
I could of swore I looked through all of that. But maybe we both missed it.
Thanks for the quick help.
Not a problem!!! I learned something new as well. I looked into the features and you can do a lot with it. Cross Sections, lighting, change background color, etc...Awesome!!
****EDIT****
If you right click and click 3D preferences you can make it so the toolbar shows up automatically when a 3D pdf is opened instead of right clicking.

What version is your reader? I'm using Acrobat Pro 9.5.5 and cannot find the 3D toolbar. Perhaps I need Acrobat X?
I'm using Adobe Reader 10.1.8, But the new on is out and it's free, just download it here.
