Templates

FinalMesh works quite close with priPrinter application. priPrinter - our PDF authoring software and printing software.

There are two possible scenerious.

Create templates in priPrinter and save it for use in FinalMesh.
Save 3D model as .u3d file in FinalMesh and use this model in priPrinter.

First choice is If you want to create similar PDFs with different 3D content, while second one is for inserting a 3d model into many PDFs.

Create template

Download and Install priPrinter Professional.
Design a document in any application, it may be even MS Word. Write common description, put logo of your company, leave empty place for 3D View. Print it to priPrinter.
In priPrinter, go to Insert tab. Click on 3D - 3D Content button. This will insert 3D viewport, adjust it's size and position. In Properties dialog, select default lighting, background, render mode and default view.
You may want to make final adjustments, like add watermarks. Watermarks may contain macros, it may be numbers of polygons in 3D model or something like that.
In File Menu, select "Save As 3D Template". Now this template will be available in FinalMesh PDF Publisher panel. Later you may change something in this template.

For creating template, priPrinter license is not required.

Insert 3D into priPrinter

In FinalMesh save model to u3d file.
Drag and Drop this to priPrinter or Create 3D Content (like in previous topic) and provide file name to that file.
Adjust viewport size and probably lighting or render mode.
In File menu, select Save As PDF.

By using this method you may insert many 3d models into single PDF file.
