PDF file size

When viewing the 3D pdf from a Sketchup model, I get a noticeable "wireframe" effect to the model when I scroll down the page.

The model within the pdf works fine - pan, tilt, spin - no problems.

But when "outside" the interactive model, in the text area of the pdf, scrolling up or down the sheet makes the model turn to a wireframe in appearance. The model has simple shades of color - not complex textures.

Any suggestions of how to minimize this or perhaps to control the pdf file size?

Thank you in advance,

John

I believe what you're referring to can be fixed by setting the Scheme for Low Framerate to "None", as below, or by setting a low in the Acrobat Preferences dialog:

I've never found a way to set that from the PDF file.

Hi Rich,

Thanks for your note. But I can't find where to do this: Scheme for Low Framerate to "None nor can I find the "Preferences" page that your screenshot is from. Is it from 3D PDF or from another program?

Thanks,

John

Adobe Reader,or Acrobat Reader. Looks like Ctrl-K will bring it up:

That sorts out the wireframe issue....

but...I've generated what I though was mid complex pump and pipe system and the pdf comes in at 8MB.

What are the tricks/links to reduce this to say 800KB??

There aren't really any tricks. The file size is just a result of the number of faces in the model and the size of any images used for material textures.
