converting an .obj file into .pdf3D in java

Question

I wish that somebody could help me solving this problem. I want to convert an *.obj file into pdf3D using Java. I have tried using the library itextpdf (at the end you can find the code that I used), but I just managed to convert a u3D file to pdf. Do I have to change something in the code or should I use another library?

public class Main
{
public static String RESOURCE = "C:\\Users\\bb\\IdeaProjects/Zuccarello.U3D";
public static String RESULT="C:\\Users\\bb\\IdeaProjects/obj.pdf";

public static void main(String[] args) throws DocumentException, IOException {
    new Main().createPdf ( RESULT);
}

public void createPdf(String filename) throws IOException, DocumentException {
    // step 1
    Document document = new Document();
    // step 2
    PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(document, new FileOutputStream(filename));
    // step 3
    document.open();
    // step 4
    Rectangle rect = new Rectangle(100, 400, 500, 800);
    rect.setBorder(Rectangle.BOX);
    rect.setBorderWidth(0.5f);
    rect.setBorderColor(new BaseColor(0xFF, 0x00, 0x00));
    document.add(rect);

    PdfStream  stream3D = new PdfStream(new FileInputStream(RESOURCE), writer);
    stream3D.put(PdfName.TYPE, new PdfName("3D"));
    stream3D.put(PdfName.SUBTYPE, new PdfName("U3D"));
    stream3D.flateCompress();
    PdfIndirectObject streamObject = writer.addToBody(stream3D);
    stream3D.writeLength();

    PdfDictionary dict3D = new PdfDictionary();
    dict3D.put(PdfName.TYPE, new PdfName("3DView"));
    dict3D.put(new PdfName("XN"), new PdfString("Default"));
    dict3D.put(new PdfName("IN"), new PdfString("Unnamed"));
    dict3D.put(new PdfName("MS"), PdfName.M);
    dict3D.put(new PdfName("C2W"),
            new PdfArray(new float[] { 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, -1, 0, 1, 0, 3, -235, 28 } ));
    dict3D.put(PdfName.CO, new PdfNumber(235));

    PdfIndirectObject dictObject = writer.addToBody(dict3D);

    PdfAnnotation annot = new PdfAnnotation(writer, rect);
    annot.put(PdfName.CONTENTS, new PdfString("3D Model"));
    annot.put(PdfName.SUBTYPE, new PdfName("3D"));
    annot.put(PdfName.TYPE, PdfName.ANNOT);
    annot.put(new PdfName("3DD"), streamObject.getIndirectReference());
    annot.put(new PdfName("3DV"), dictObject.getIndirectReference());
    PdfAppearance ap = writer.getDirectContent().createAppearance(rect.getWidth(), rect.getHeight());
    annot.setAppearance(PdfAnnotation.APPEARANCE_NORMAL, ap);
    annot.setPage();

    writer.addAnnotation(annot);
    // step 5
    document.close();
}
}

3D PDF only supports .prc and .u3d files. Direct file conversion formats adobe.com So you need to convert one of those first.
