PDF documents with integrated 3D interactive models
Installations
Jmol
You need at least version 12.0.RC26 to do this.
IDTF to U3D
(See also descriptions and comments for IDTF and U3D formats regarding Jmol.)
- Windows installation of IDTFConverter
- Download and unzip http://www.iaas.msu.ru/tmp/u3d/u3dIntelWin.zip into, perhaps,
c:\idtf\ - Create a simple command file u3d.bat and place it in a folder where it is easily accessible (e.g. the Windows directory or a folder included in the system's path). This u3d.bat file must contain this text:
c:\idtf\idtfconverter.exe -input %1.idtf -output %1.u3d
- MacOS and Linux installation of IDTFConverter
- See IDTF for instructions on getting the converter.
- Create a command file similarly to the one described for Windows.
LaTeX to PDF
There are several pdfLatex software, like teTex, MiKTeX...
- Installation of MiKTeX (Windows)
- Download and install Miktex "basic" from http://miktex.org/
- Do an update (
Start > Programs > MiKTeX > Maintenance > Update) - Download the movie15 package (
Start > Programs > MikTex > Maintenance > Package Manager)
Creating the document
1. Within Jmol script console: write c:/temp/xxx.idtf
- or from the application's pop-up menu:
File > Export IDTF 3D model(a dialog prompts for detination folder and filename). - Either of those will create two files: xxx.idtf and xxx.idtf.tex
2. At the system command line or terminal, call the 
u3d.bat file (Windows), or equivalent MacOS or Linux command file, to convert the .idtf to .u3d format:
u3d c:\temp\xxx
3. Run the TeXworks program included in MiKTeX and open your xxx.idtf.tex into TeXworks.
4. Click menu item Typeset > Typeset
- When processing ends, you will see a blank document, because MiKTeX can't display the model, but xxx.idtf.pdf should have been created.
5. Open the .pdf file using Adobe Reader v. 7 or later.
- If you don't see the model in the panel inside the document, right-click on it and choose
Partial options > Fit visible
