Earns its place in the autodesk_apps library as a dedicated 3D PDF export path for 3ds Max, pairing face-level color and precision control with an optional automation license for hands-off exports.
ProtoTech's 3DPDF Exporter for 3ds Max converts solid and wire bodies into lightweight, interactive 3D PDF files that open in the free Adobe Reader. The exported geometry retains color information at the face level, and precision values let you adjust the balance between file size and quality.
Beyond geometry export, the plugin adds password protection so you can set access restrictions on a 3D PDF, and built-in default compression reduces file size for sharing. An optional automation license lets you call a function from your own plugin on the same host application and export a file without user intervention, using standard input parameters.
The first install activates a free trial that runs for 7 days or 15 exports, with access to the full feature set and no activation key required during that window. The plugin runs on Windows 10 and Windows 11 only and uses a custom installer rather than the standard App Store installer. The license is perpetual, and updates during the first year are free.
ProtoTech's 3DPDF Exporter For 3ds Max® -Trial is best for 3ds Max users who need to share solid and wire geometry as interactive 3D PDFs that open in the free Adobe Reader, with control over precision, compression and access restrictions.
ProtoTech's 3DPDF Exporter For 3ds Max® -Trial is completely free to download and use.
ProtoTech's 3DPDF Exporter activates a free trial automatically the first time you install it. The trial runs for 7 days or 15 exports, whichever comes first, and gives you access to the full set of features. No activation key is required during the trial period. Once you reach 15 exports or the 7-day window closes, you'll need to activate the paid version to continue exporting. For licensing and activation details, check the developer's page or contact ProtoTech support.
ProtoTech's 3DPDF Exporter runs on Windows 10 and Windows 11 only. Keep in mind that it uses a custom installer rather than the standard App Store installer, so you download and run ProtoTech's own setup to add it to 3ds Max. If you run into installation, license, or activation questions, the developer lists a support email on its page. Updates during the first year are free, and the license is perpetual.
ProtoTech's 3DPDF Exporter added support for the 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026 releases in a recent update. The same update rectified UI tooltip discrepancies, updated the version number, and fixed the orientation of the license info dialog box. The plugin exports solid and wire bodies from 3ds Max into 3D PDF files that open in the free Adobe Reader. For the exact host versions supported by your build, check the version notes on the developer's page.
ProtoTech's 3DPDF Exporter is listed as free in this catalog. A free trial is also available on first install, running for 7 days or 15 exports with the full feature set and no activation key required. Because licensing terms and any paid tiers can change, check the developer's page for current pricing, activation, and renewal details. Note that the license is perpetual, with free updates during the first year.
