The Output section is where you specify where the generated PDF will be saved, and optionally how it should be merged into an existing PDF document.
Title
An optional title for the PDF document. The title also appears as the root node name in the Model Tree. Titles should be less than 30 characters — if left blank, the title will default to “EVS Scene”.
Embed into Existing PDF
If you want to merge the 3D content into an existing PDF rather than creating a new standalone file, enter the path to the target PDF here, click Browse, or drag and drop a PDF onto the field. Once a template PDF is selected, the Merging options below will become available.
To prepare a template PDF with placeholder 3D annotations that can be replaced with converted models, see Creating Template PDF Files.
For a walkthrough of the full process — from setting up a template to replacing placeholders with 3D content — see Using Template PDF Files.
Tip
Alternatively, you can output a PRC file from the converter and use Adobe Acrobat Pro to insert it into an existing PDF manually. See Using Adobe Acrobat with PRC Files for details.
Output File
Specifies where the generated PDF will be saved. Click Browse to choose a location, or type the path directly. The output file can be set to the same path as the Embed into Existing PDF field — in that case, the converter will read the existing PDF, merge in the 3D content, and write the result back to the same file, effectively updating it in place.
Info
You can also save the output as a .prc file instead of a PDF by changing the file extension. PRC files can be inserted directly into existing PDFs using Adobe Acrobat Pro — see Using Adobe Acrobat with PRC Files for instructions.
Merging
These options control how the 3D content is inserted into the template PDF, and are only available when a template has been specified above.
Mode — Determines how the 3D content is placed within the template:
| Mode | Description |
|---|---|
| Insert Before Page | Inserts the 3D content as a new page before the specified page number |
| Insert After Page | Inserts the 3D content as a new page after the specified page number |
| Replace 3D Model | Replaces an existing 3D annotation in the template PDF. This is covered in detail in the Using Template PDF Files topic. |
Page — The page number in the template PDF used as the reference point for insertion (for Insert Before/After modes).
Model Number — When using Replace 3D Model mode, this identifies which 3D annotation on the specified page should be replaced, for pages that contain multiple 3D models. Minimum value: 1.
Info
You can only replace or insert one 3D model at a time. For multiple models, perform sequential operations — use the output file from each operation as the input for the next.
