I am currently evaluating the TCS. I have a U3D file created from Adobe 3D Reviewer imported into FrameMaker 8 (latest v8.0p277). When I Save As PDF, the resulting PDF file shows the graphic, but is not activated for 3D. The FM console displays:

"Save as PDF failed to post-process the PDF file for 3D Data: errors were encountered in the PDF file. The PDF file should be intact and usable but may not reflow properly. Check that the destination PDF file is not in use or its permissions, then Save as PDF again. If the problem persists, please contact Adobe Technical Support."

Anyone know what the problem might be?

The workflow that is being tried should have worked. Are you getting the same error with all U3D files or is this specific to one U3D file? I would request you to please share sample files (FM + U3D)which shows this error at rabansal@adobe.com. We will investigate the same.

I have found that it is best to put the material into the pdf directly. 
Some graphic iles don't travel well from Frame to pdf.

Well, today it seems to be working... almost.

The resulting PDF from FrameMaker now includes a functioning 3D model.

The only problem I have now is when the U3D file is imported into Frame, it is not oriented as saved. When I right-click the graphic in Frame, a 3D menu popup appears and I select the "View" option. A list with a single "view" selection appears. Click OK and the model reorients as saved, but is cropped. When converted the PDF, the graphic appears also cropped and you can pan to see the rest of the model.

I need to know how to control views so the entire model appears in FrameMaker and additional views can be used to control the model.

I have emailed the FM, U3D and PDF files. Thank you.
