PDF documents with integrated 3D interactive models
(This is a draft)
Installations
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) - Open the download manager and download the movie15 package (
Start > Programs > MikTex > Maintenance)
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.
Creating the document
1. Within Jmol script console:
write c:/temp/xxx.idtf- That 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 MikTeX program TeXworks and open your xxx.idtf.tex
4. Click menu item Typeset
- You will see a blank document, because MikTex can't display the model, but doc.pdf should have been created.
5. Open doc.pdf using Adobe Reader v. 7 or later.
