How to embed 3d pdf into 2d pdf?

I created a 3d pdf (outside of Acrobat) and would like to embed this file into a 2d pdf using Acrobat X. When I add Multimedia > 3D object and try to insert the 3d pdf file, Acrobat says that the file is not a supported file type. Is there a way to embed this directly (so the model can be seen when the 2d pdf is opened), rather than as an attached file or link? I would like to avoid using an U3D file, as the file became very large and responds slowly to commands.

All you need is Acrobat.
If you want to copy the entire page from the 3D PDF to the 2D PDF, open the page thumbnails sidebar in the 2D PDF, and from the options dropdown menu choose Insert Pages > From File. Pick your 3D PDF and choose where you want the page to be inserted. You can also open both files in separate windows, and drag the page thumbnails from one to the other (not the pages, the thumbnails).
If you want to copy just the 3D annotation, open both files in separate windows, and open the Tools Pane > Content Panel in both so you can activate the "select object" tool - the big black arrow. Click the 3D annotation to select it, then choose edit>Copy (Ctrl-C), then in the destination PDF file choose Edit>Paste (Ctrl-V). You can move and resize the annotation while you have the select object tool enabled, and any embedded 3D scripts, views, poster images etc will be preserved.
The only thing you may find is if the source and destination pages are in different orientations, copy/paste may rotate the poster image. To fix that, right-click the pasted annotation and choose Properties, then re-create the poster image.

  • How do I combine folders into one pdf, preserving subfolders as bookmarks?

    So far I've had to go into each folder, convert its contents and name the file the same name as the folder name, and combine all of these folders. I'd like it if there were an easier way.

    Hi,
    sometimes ago I wrote a VBScript which may do, what you want.
    Copy the attached Script into Notepad, change the settings and save it as AcMerge.vbs.
    If you have produced the PDF FileList, you can double click on the VBS or Drag 'n Drop
    the PDF FileList on the vbs.

    REM: to produce a file list file you can type into "Win Start" -> "Execute" 
    REM: cmd /c "dir c:\temp\*.pdf /b /s >c:\PdfList.tmp"
    REM:  where c:\temp\ is the base-folder.

  • Breaking a pdf into multiple pdf's

    I have a 250 page pdf.  each page represents a departments information.  Is there a way to break apart that pdf into single pdf's but using part of the file to name the pdf?
    for example, if the first report has a title that contains department 123, I could extract that page and name it department 123.
    The only want I know how to break a pdf into multiple pages is to use the document / extract pages and select Extract pages as seperate files.  But when I do this it uses the name of the exiting file and adds a number to it.

    You will have to select a subforum, e.g. Creating, Editing & Exporting PDFs, or Acrobat SDK (since you probably need to write the functionality you want by yourself).

    Thanks

    Re extracting and renaming pages: This is done with a script, but it can
    only be done if your pages are consistent and the script can identify the
    text that is to be used for the file name. If you wish, you can send me
    some sample files by email ([email protected]), or share them somewhere and
    post the link here, and I'll let you know if I think it's possible.
    Re bookmarks: What do you mean, exactly? You mean you want to copy&paste a
    bookmark? No, that's not possible. But bookmarks can also be generated with
    a script.

  • Text issues merging multiple pdfs into one pdf

    Hello, when I merge multiple pdfs into one pdf document my text is missing or garbled.  I spent hours yesterday trying to figure this out, from insuring the text was embedded and print setting were correct.  Please help!!
    Using Adobe Pro 9.0
    Thanks,

    Acrobat Pro is the application you use for working with PDFs, making minor edits, combining multiple PDFs into a single file, extracting or replacing pages, doing fancier form work than ID has the ability to produce, and even creating PDF from a number of other file formats. I'm not sure your question about maintaining the quality of your photos is really applicable -- it would depend on how youare getting from the photo to PDF to begin with. The use of Acrobat in and of itself won't be the determiner.
    That said, I couldn't live without Acrobat Pro in my workflow. Since you are on CS5.5 you have a couple of options. You could purchase a subscription to Creative Cloud (at a discount for the first year), which would give you access not only to Acrobat, but all of the other programs and tools included in the suite, but you pay a monthly or yearly fee, or you can buy a standalone perpetual license to either Acrobat Pro or Acrobat Standard (I didn't realize Standard was still an option, and you might not need all the features of Pro -- you can compare at http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobatpro/buying-guide.html).

  • I am trying to drag and drop one page of a .pdf into another .pdf in Acrobat Reader.  I used to be able to drag and drop from one .pdf to another.

    I am trying to drag and drop one page of a .pdf into another .pdf in Acrobat Reader.  I used to be able to drag and drop from one .pdf to another.

    If you could drag and drop pages before, it wasn't in Reader. You no doubt had Adobe Acrobat (Pro or Standard) which shouldn't be confused with Adobe Acrobat Reader. They recently added Acrobat to the name of Adobe Reader so the confusion about which product you had and/or have is understandable.

  • How to embed audio clips into pdf document

    Hello I have a two-hour lecture I've transcribed. There are about 20 paragraphs. I want to embed the audio of the lecture into the pdf document so that when the reader clicks on a paragraph or on a button/control near the paragraph the audio for that particular paragraph starts up. An ideal version of this would be in pdf format and would allow the reader to click anywhere in the pdf and have the audio start from that point. I've never embedded audio before. I also have InDesign, Lightroom and Photoshop and can use them to embed audio before exporting to pdf.

    The exact process will depend on the version of Acrobat you have. In AA7, I just selected TOOLS>Advanced Editing>Sound Tool and added a sound file to the document. There were options for AA5 and AA6 compatibility as well as for embedding the sound file in the PDF.
    When you select the sound file, it asks if you want to play the file or accept the file as trusted for future requests. The file then played just fine. When I added the link, I was given a box to use to surround the area of interest on the page. You can set the border color and such (like make it invisible, though that might confuse folks).
    I am not sure what more you want. It is possible to add audio to open when you open the page also as well as set timing for the page. That would provide a way for the person to essentially have a lecture presented on your system without having to intervene. For the playing of the pages and timing, you may ahve to have the file open in full-screen, not sure.
