[EN]A widely known alternative for reading and exchanging digital files is the PDF file, by Adobe. This type of file has become the
most used for the electronic exchange of files. It is platform-independent, suitable for the exchange of medical data in electronic
academic publication. PDF can support additional resources such image, media, even, three-dimensional surface mesh models. A
three-dimensional model of the base of the skull is generated from computed tomography images to provide an overview of the
PDF file format, with emphasis on biomedical images. Three-dimensional representation in PDF files offers many advantages, as
these images have more information than two-dimensional images, therefore, we consider this tool (3D PDF) a good alternative
for the visualization, interaction and distribution of 3D content.
