It is more than enough for engineering graphics, and it was acceptable at the time when it was invented (around 2005), but for better visuals consider alternative options. The support of materials is quite limited in 3D PDF, so although we export as much as we can, the result is still not perfect. That’s because of the 3D PDF format limitations. You may notice that models don’t look exactly the same in Acrobat, as they looked in the source applications. Create the Adobe Acrobat Pro layer, with the above Acrobat Standard layer as a prerequisite. Note that this cannot be applied to tiled or otherwise modified texture mapping. Solution Create your Adobe Acrobat standard layer and finalize it. We cut the scene that way, so the maximum artwork resolution does not exceed the Acrobat limits and you end up with full texture quality.

In order to fix that, both Boxshot and Origami can cut both the scene and the artwork into pieces, so each artwork fragment is applied to a smaller part of the scene.

This means you end up with a blurry texture if the initial resolution was higher.

Besides the lighting and artwork format options, there is a quite important “tiling” option that helps providing higher resolution artwork in Adobe Reader.Īccording to our tests, Adobe Reader limits artwork resolution to about 2048x2048 to match the low–quality hardware. Export Optionsīoth Boxshot and Origami share the same exporting engine, so the 3D PDF properties are the same. Exactly as with Boxshot, you can configure export options in application settings panel.
