I am looking to display a 3D PDF file in the Chrome browser and tried almost all the options, including the solution discussed in the following question.

How to display 3D PDF in Chrome & Firefox Browser

Since Google has disabled the NPAPI support as mentioned in the link below, therefore, the solution mentioned in the above link seems not working any more.

According to my search, the Adobe Acrobat reader can not be used to view the PDF file within the chrome browser.

I am also open to any alternative approach that displays 3d model, created in AutoCAD, using HTML on Chrome browser

Thanks in advance.

Do you need full 3D viewing, such as rotation of the 3D model? Or fixed 2D view(s) of the model? Can you post/link an example PDF? – Ryan Mar 30 '20 at 18:14
Yes, full 3D Viewing. Here is the [example](https://tetra4d.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/PartList-Helico.pdf), taken from the internet. Thanks – Muhammad Abu ul Fazal Apr 01 '20 at 00:36
There are no browser-based PDF viewers that will display 3D PDF. – joelgeraci Apr 13 '20 at 18:02
