Name Displays the name of the file that is selected from the list. You can also rename a resource, which is useful with
scripting. For example, you can replace the name with the one used in a script.
Binding When adding files that are developed in Flash as a resource for a 3D model, binding determines how those
files interact. For example, you can identify a resource to run in the background and one to run in the foreground. After
you add the files to the file list, select one, and in the Binding section, select either Background, Foreground, or
Material.
Material 3D designers can use the Material field to define a material to use in a model. The material name can be
associated with a resource by selecting Material in the Binding section.
FlashVars Flash developers can use the FlashVars field to add ActionScript™ variables for the selected file.
Run a JavaScript
If a separate JavaScript file is associated with the 3D model PDF, you can activate it.
1 Open the PDF in Acrobat DC.
2 Click the 3D model with the Hand tool to enable it, and then right-click the 3D model and choose Run A JavaScript.
3 Find the JavaScript file you want to add, and click Open.

Displaying 3D models in PDFs
In Acrobat DC, you can view and interact with high-quality 3D content created in professional 3D CAD or 3D
modeling programs and embedded in PDFs. For example, you can hide and show parts of a 3D model, remove a cover
to look inside, and turn parts around as if holding them in your hands.
A 3D model initially appears as a two-dimensional preview image. Clicking the 3D model with the Hand or Select tool
enables (or activates) the model, opens the 3D toolbar, and plays any animation.
