    #98. Working with 3D Content

    In Acrobat 9 Pro Extended, you can use 3D content exported from various 3D modeling programs in several common 3D formats in a PDF file, or in a source Microsoft Office file. You embed a 3D model in the same way you embed movies or sounds.

    Adjusting the Model’s Appearance

    There are a number of ways to change the appearance of your model in Acrobat using the tools on the 3D toolbar:

    • Specify the type of projection—either orthographic or perspective—for viewing the model.

    • Choose a Render Mode from the Model Render Mode pop-up menu—the model in the figure is shown in Shaded Illustration mode.

    • From the Enable Extra Lighting pop-up menu, choose supplementary lighting for the model ranging from night lights to headlamps—the model in the figure uses Bright Lights.

    • Select a background color for the model from the color swatches.

    • Show or hide cross sections.
