Adobe Acrobat Reader allows users to interact with 3D models in PDFs. The default view of a 3D model provides an easy way to return to the starting point whenever you interact with the model. Users can create additional views of the 3D model to facilitate navigation of the 3D content, and can personalize the views to show different perspectives like top, bottom, left, right, inside, outside, exploded, or assembled. To adjust the view of the 3D model, the user must right-click on it, navigate to the Tools option, and select Show Toolbar. Once the 3D toolbar appears, the user can utilize the Rotate, Pan, and Zoom tools to adjust the view.

What You'll Learn
Enabling 3D content
- Open a PDF with 3D content. A yellow bar will appear at the top, indicating that Multimedia and 3D content has been disabled.
- Click on the yellow bar and select "Enable this feature if you trust this document". Alternatively, press Command + K (macOS) or Ctrl + K (Windows) to open Preferences.
- In the Preferences dialog box, select the Multimedia & 3D option in the left sidebar.
- Enable the "Enable Playing of 3D Content" or Enable Playing of Multimedia and 3D content option.
Working with 3D Content:
Once 3D content is enabled, you can interact with the 3D models in various ways:
- Views: The default view provides a starting point for interacting with the model. You can create additional views to navigate the 3D content, including perspectives like top, bottom, left, right, inside, outside, exploded, or assembled.
- Bookmarks: You can create bookmarks and associate them with specific views. This allows for quick navigation to different parts of the 3D model.
- Toolbar: The 3D toolbar provides tools to rotate, pan, and zoom, allowing you to adjust the view of the 3D model.
- Model Tree: The Model Tree displays a list of all available views for the 3D model. It also allows you to manage and personalize views, including settings such as lighting, camera position, transparency, and cross-section.
- Animations: You can specify whether animations are allowed and manage their performance when the framerate is low.
- Renderer: You can select the default renderer, choosing between DirectX, OpenGL, or Software options, each offering different performance and quality trade-offs.
By following these steps, you can enable and effectively work with 3D content in Adobe Acrobat, enhancing your visualization and interaction experience with 3D models embedded in PDFs.

Using the 3D toolbar
The 3D toolbar in Adobe Acrobat allows you to view and interact with 3D models in PDFs. By default, 3D content in PDFs is disabled due to potential security vulnerabilities. To enable the playing of 3D content, go to the Preferences dialog box and select the "Enable Playing of 3D Content" option in the Multimedia & 3D panel. Here, you can also specify the default renderer and decide whether animations are allowed.
Once 3D content is enabled, you can use the 3D toolbar to interact with the 3D models. The toolbar includes tools for hiding and showing parts of the model, removing covers to look inside, and rotating parts as if holding them in your hands. You can also use the Hand tool to select and highlight parts of the 3D model. If this option is not selected, you can use the Object Data tool (found under Tools > Interactive Objects > Select Object) to select the object.
The 3D toolbar also includes an option to display an axis that indicates the current orientation of the 3D scene. Additionally, you can specify what happens to animations of complex models when the framerate becomes low. For example, you can choose to keep the framerate high by displaying a bounding box that shows the three-dimensional planes enclosing the parts instead of the parts themselves.
To view additional tools in the 3D toolbar, select the drop-down option on the right of the toolbar. This will give you access to more tools for manipulating and navigating the 3D model.
