There is Acrobat 3D, a specialized software from Adobe for incorporating 3D
CAD drawings into a document and then convert it to a pdf file. You can view
the pdf with 3D drawing, in the Acrobat Reader itself and can rotate, hide,
zoom, pan, add comments, and do many more things without the need to have
the source file. It supports around twenty different 3D input formats.
