3D pdf on iPad

Can anyone tell me if there is an app available to properly display a 3D PDF on the iPad?

iPad, iOS 4.3.2

True.


The main issue here is that the 3D format that is embedded in PDF (u3d format) is really clumsy and not well supported; as a developer of MeshLab, probably the only free mac app supporting u3d, and seeing the support that adobe has given to that format in the last years I think that it is quite difficult that will be strongly supported.


Probably you should think alternative solutions like direct link to 3D models and iPad 3D viewers like MeshPad

as shown in this youtube video



Cheers.
