## Using Interactive Features to show  3D figures in 2D  3D PDF is a standard fully supported by Adobe within PDF itself. It allows for a selectable sequence of views of embedded 3D objects, in which each view can have a subset of objects visible from a given vantage point. As the tools for creating 3D PDFs were spun off from Adobe itself a few years ago, it had become somewhat cumbersome to generate such figures. A [tutorial](http://www.astrobetter.com/tutorial-for-embedding-3d-interactive-graphics-into-pdf/) now exists that allows a user to generate a PDF with a 3D figure using LaTeX tools.
