(OP)
I know this may be more of a acrobat question. When I save a 3dpdf from sw2011, the materials dont save with it. Anyone know if this is possible? Again, its probably an acrobat issue and doesnt know how to deal with materials, so acrobat makes everything into a dulled out rendering. 3dpdf's will be a good idea for our product on our website.
thanks guys.

(OP)
im meant the materials (shiny chrome or any other mat) does not show up why I open the file in acrobat reader. The acrbat writer I have is old. In acrobat reader, it shows up 3d and can be rotated, but it just has a dull gray model.

I think you need Acrobat Reader Version 7.0.7 at the very least.
