export a 3D figure to pdf, such that it is rotatable etc. in the pdf

hello,

I would like to export a 3D figure to pdf, such that it is rotatable / scalable / moveable in the pdf. I know there exist solutions, but can't get them to Work, because they are too old (I guess).

Can you help me there?

kind regards Gerard

Hello Gerard,

I understand that you are looking to export a 3-D model with interaction capability to a PDF. There are a couple of third party toolboxes that have been developed to make use of the U3D PDF-style.

MATLAB Mesh to PDF with 3D Interactive Object

Export Figure to 3D Interactive PDF

I hope this helps provide what you are looking for.

No, I am not trying to do it, Gerard is.

Sorry about that, I obviously did not read carefully enough. Thanks for pointing that out.
