Acrobat 9

Acrobat 9 brings some changes that makes it harder to make textured objects work inside pdf.
On the other hand it has some nice new features like text and graphics over 3D background, even semi transparent ones, that gives you complete new possibilities on creating interfaces for interacting with your objects.

Major worsenings from Acrobat 8 to Acrobat 9:
-no .ase filesupport
-no .rh filesupport
-3D Toolkit (Deep Exploration "light") replaced by 3D Reviewer (homegrown 3D Toolkit without texture support)

Workaround:
1. Export your 3ds max scenes/objects as .rh (Right Hemisphere)
2. Open the file in Right Hemisphere's Deep Exploration, and save it as .u3d file
3. Import the .u3d file into Acrobat 9
