Is 3D Distiller required to process U3D files in FM 8 ?
I'm playing with the eval version of FM 8, installed on a system that already has Acrobat 8.1 Pro installed. The FM 8 installation refused to install the embedded distiller because a more current version already existed. I've embedded a U3D file in a FM file, and everything looks good. The 3D menu is active and I can change background colors and suck. But when I run it through the Acrobat 8.1 Pro distiller, there isn't any 3D functionality in the PDF. So the question is whether the FM 8 embedded distiller or Acrobat 8 3D needs to be present in order to generate a 3D PDF from FM 8. Or if there's something else required that I'm missing.
