When you install Acrobat 3D, an additional icon appears in the PDFMaker toolbar (Office 2003) or Acrobat ribbon
(Office 2007) in Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, and Microsoft PowerPoint. This icon lets you insert a preview of
the 3D file in the application’s document, slide show, or spreadsheet. To get the full 3D effect, create a PDF from the
original file.

model to the PDF. For Office 2007 applications, choose Acrobat Preferences, and then make sure that this option is
selected. For other Office applications, choose Adobe PDF > Conversion Settings to select this option.
