Frequently Asked Questions

General

Does RealVue3D support Kanji Fonts?

Current versions of RealVue3D do not presently support Kanji or 2 bit fonts. Any PDF's that include such fonts will view correctly in Acrobat and generate a JAR file (RealVue3D Simulation), but this JAR file will not open. However a work around would be to convert these types of fonts into outlines before generating your PDF, which should then allow the JAR file to be successfully generated and viewed.

Why are .jar files sometimes bigger than PDF files?

It is not always the case that you get a smaller PDF. One of the main factors in this is that with small PDFs, when they become JAR files we add 1.8 meg of Java data to them. This includes all the items to make them run on Mac and PC. Also all the pages are created at 1024 x 1024 JPG files by RealVue3D, so depending on number of pages and how well they compress. e.g. a file with 200 text pages in PDF will be much smaller than 200 pages with pictures, but for us the 200 pages will be about the same size.

When someone attaches a jar file to an email and sends it to me, why do I not receive the jar file attachment?

The .jar extension is not a file that is blocked by default by MS Outlook (unlike .exe, .bat or scripts for example). System administrators may configure their e-mail to block specific file types and in this case if the .jar is blocked there are two possible solutions. The file can be renamed to an unblocked type (such as .txt) then renamed upon receipt, or it can be compressed by a utility such as Winzip or Stuffit prior to sending.

Can I embed a RealVue3D demo file on a webpage?

RealVue3D files can be embedded in a web page using the $(RV3DFile) tag.

From version 2 onward users can create this data automatically by turning on the HTML generation option in their preferences. However should you need to manually embed a RealVue3D file in your web page, there are code examples to be followed.

Each major version of RealVue3D used different code example in order to support more advanced features. For this reason you must use the correct code version for your version of RealVue3D so if your version number starts with a 1 then use version 1 code example, and so on.

HTML does not easily support filenames with spaces so don't use spaces in your file names and it is good practice to use lowercase naming conventions with only standard ASCII characters.

Below is an example of the current HTML code example which can be found in the localres file of the RealVue3D application called rvmaster.html

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

<html>

<head>

<title>RealVue3d</title>

<!--

.style2

-->

</style>

</head>

<tr>

<td align="left" valign="middle"><div align="right"><font size="1" face="Verdana"><a href="javascript:self.close()">Close

Window</a></font></div></td>

</tr>

</table>

<tr>

<tr>

<tr>

<p align="center" class="style2"><font face="Verdana">$(RVFilename)</font></p>

</font></p></td>

</tr>

</table>

$(RV3DFile)</font><font color="#FFFFFF" size="2" face="Verdana"><br>

</font></p>

</td>

</tr>

</table>

</div></td>

</tr>

</table>

<tr>

ffei 2007</td>

</tr>

</table>

</body>

</html>

In all versions of the code the width and height measurements can be adjusted. These are pixel values which define the size your RealVue3D file will appear in your webpage.

For a more in depth knowledge of embedding a RealVue3D Demo File on a web page check out our Tutorials Page- HTML, which has specific Flash Tutorials on how to create Custom HTML output from the RealVue3D application.
