A 3D PDF (Portable Document Format) is a type of PDF file that includes interactive 3D content. Traditional PDFs typically contain static text, images, and links, but 3D PDFs can go further by incorporating three-dimensional models, allowing users to manipulate and view objects in a 3D space directly within the PDF document.
