Customize a conversion preset for a 3D file type
You can create your own conversion presets for different types of 3D files, making it easy to reapply all the individual
options you use most often for a specific type of 3D file.
Presets are tied to the 3D format. For example, if you create a preset for Catia 5 files, that preset appears only when
converting Catia 5 files. You can create multiple presets for each 3D format. When you convert or capture a 3D file,
the most recently used preset for that file type is selected.
Choose Edit > Preferences, and choose Convert To PDF under Categories.

In the central panel of the Preferences, select the 3D file format to which the custom preset will apply, and then

click Edit Settings.
Note: If you select a non-3D file type, the Edit Settings button may not be available or it may open a different dialog box.
Using the five tabs in the dialog box, specify the settings you want to include in the preset.

Above the tabs, in Description, type something that will help you to recognize the preset, such as its intended

purpose or parameters.
Click the Add Preset icon

Note: You can delete a custom preset by reopening the Acrobat 3D Conversion dialog box, selecting the preset from the
menu, and then clicking the Delete Preset button
Convert large assemblies
Converting large assemblies to PDF can be both time-consuming and memory-intensive. For best results, create a
tessellated representation of the assembly using PRC conversion settings. If the CAD file includes saved tessellation
entities, Acrobat 3D uses these instead of creating a new one.
Note: For you to complete this task, PRC settings must be available in the Format menu of the Acrobat 3D Conversion
dialog box.
Choose File > Create PDF > From File, and select the 3D file or part.

In the Acrobat 3D Conversion dialog box, click the Import tab.

From the Level Of Detail menu, select Medium. Select any other options, and then click OK.
There is a Large Files conversion preset for large assemblies on the pop-up menu in the Acrobat 3D Conversion dialog
box.
