  1. Which 3D (with animation) file formats are accepted by Acrobat X Pro?
  2. Do these 3D animation files work after importing them?
    1. Do their animation work inside the PDF or only their 3D image is displayed?
    2. Do their animation work inside the PDF without requiring javascript coding?
  3. Which are the 3D (such as Tetra4D) softwares  which can create 3D animation files that are compatible with Acrobat X Pro?

    Acrobat X Pro can only place native 3D files into PDF files - U3D and PRC formats. Both can contain animations as per their specification, but it's limited - you cannot for example animate on a vertex level.

     

    Animations will play without JS, but to control them beyond the basic 'play bar' on the 3D tool, you would need to write some advanced code.
