PDF supports Universal 3D (.u3d) and Product Representation Compact (.prc). See: https://forums.adobe.com/message/4943098#4943098 Maybe try the other format. Another option is to have them save it in other 3D formats, then google ".xx to U3D converter." Hope this helps. -- Shmuel Wolfson Tech

Hi Karen... The only way I can think of to do this would be via scripting of some kind .. ExtendScript, FrameScript, or FDK (or Perl, Python, etc. on a MIF file). If you don't find a reasonable solution, my FM2DITA plugin may have an undocumented feature that could let you do this. If it's a

Try this: Copy the phrase (without the paragraph marker at the end). Do a replace selecting "Text and Character Formats on the Clipboard" in the search item. Replace with a nonsense phrase used nowhere in the document, like "#$@@@$". Copy to the clipboard an instance of the paragraph tag you w

That would replace all instances of the string, not only those in paragraphs with a particular tag. You could do it on a MIF using regular expressions: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1237/regex-to-pull-out-a-sub-string-between-two-tags-in-a-string On Wed, Jun 21, 2017 at 7:00 AM, Grant Hoga
