Method for creating a PDF.

[DIXON]

Hi All,
Further to my previous thread, What would be the procedure for creating a PDF from a solid model that has been rendered in Keyshot 7 ? If I render the model then save it as a Jpeg then start Adobe and try to import / open the file .. I get the message "Unsupported format ".

Regards,

Are you using Adobe Reader (free) or Adobe Acrobat ($$$$..$$$) to try and open the JPG. I dont think the Reader is capable of creating a PDF.
The most common way to get a JPG from Keyshot or any other program into a PDF would be to print it to a PDF using one of the many PDF virtual printers (PDfill, pdffactory, cutePDF etc.) . The issue of getting a 3D enabled PDF combined with pages from other programs rather cumbersome. Id be interested to hear what others have done on this.

Hi Jimpulse
I'm using Adobe reader Dc might have to fork out for Acrobat.
Many thanks.

Thanks nichterlein,
I can do what Jimpulse mentioned, I create a rendered image with Keyshot then save the rendered image as a Jpeg then use Microsoft "print to PDF " function then save that, so all is good.

Many thanks.
