Q: Does PDFNet SDK provides functions to convert 3D files in PDF
format?
I would like to convert catia
files(.CATPart, .CATProduct, .CATDrawing) into PDF.

A: Using PDFNet SDK (www.pdftron.com/net) you can extract any data
stream from PDF including U3D and PCR streams.
You can use PDFNet SDK to embed U3D and PCR models when creating new
or editing existing PDF documents. It is also possible to extract U3D
files, to modify 3D annotation dictionaries etc.
As a starting point you may want to take a look at U3DTest sample
project:
http://www.pdftron.com/net/samplecode.html#U3D
Please keep in mind that PDFNet does not include API-s to
programmatically parse or generate U3D files. In case you also need
this type of functionality, you may want to try Intel's free U3D
library (http://sourceforge.net/projects/u3d/). Also PDFNet itself
does not work with 'catia' files (you will need to export/convert
these files to U3D or PCR before using them in PDF).
