Below are a list of known issues and recommended workarounds:
- Conversion Fails
- Input and output files must be on a local drive or a network drive that is mapped to a drive letter.
- If you are overwriting an existing PDF, make sure that it is not open in Adobe Reader (or Acrobat). This will prevent overwriting and will not issue an error.
- 3D PDF Backgrounds in PDF document do not print correctly
- There is a problem with Adobe print drivers when printing a 3D PDF. Gradient backgrounds are printed as multiple bands
- Solution: Use a solid color background (top and bottom the same)
- 2D Overlay Objects are now included in 3D PDFs
- EVSPDFs supports all of the following objects.
- legend (2d): Use legend 3d instead.
- titles (2d): Use titles 3d instead.
- add logo
- VRML still does not support 2D Overlay objects
- EVSPDFs supports all of the following objects.
- Forward Facing Text will never be supported in 3D PDFs. Avoid using it in all modules (post samples, 3d titles, etc.)
- Adobe Acrobat Limitations on 3D PDFs which are beyond our control:
- The Measure Distance tool should only be used with your model at Z Scale = 1. It cannot compensate for vertical exaggeration as we do in EVS, so any distances that include a difference in Z coordinates will be incorrect.
- Transparency: Any object with Opacity < 1.0 will have a less than ideal rendering.
- Model Tree: There are two parent levels added to the model tree by Adobe: “model” and “EVS Scene”.
