Adobe Release Acrobat 3D - including 3D model in PDF file

PDF has become the most popular online document format
in this few years. It is mainly because of the compatibility
in every computer platform. All you need is an Adobe Acrobat
Reader.

However, Acrobat support text and 2D graphs only.
Recently, Adobe released a new version of Acrobat, Acrobat 3D.
This new Acrobat 3D allow user to include 3D model into a
PDF file. And it can be open with Adobe Reader.
It support major 3D model file format, including 3D Studio Max and
AutoCAD.

files that produced by Acrobat 3D can be opened by Adobe Acrobat
Reader version 7.0. I did try to open a 3D PDF file. it not only can
read, but also rotate and zoom. pre-installed 3D modeling software
is not required. But it takes time to open.

Finaly, there are other two software that come with Acrobat 3D when you purchase it:
Adobe LiveCycle Designer 7.0
Acrobat 3D Toolkit

Yep, I already tried this, and it works quite well...
You start your favorite 3D application, and engage Acrobat 3d, load your 3d scene into 3d application you use, (eq. 3D studio, Autocad, Cinema 4d, Maya, Lightwave, or any other) and just press "Print Screen" on your keyboard, and on some amazing way Adobe 3d engine captures content from your 3d application, probably via OPEN GL or DirectX and puts it in PDF document. Also you can do this via standard method, like, exporting in some common 3d format, and just importing into Acrobat. Awesome stuff really!
