After Show Effects starts, a 3D view of the current page of the PDF document displays in the preview [6]. If the document has several pages, you can go between the pages with the buttons [1]. Use these buttons [3] to rotate, move and scale up the view.

In the table [5] on the left, you can see which effects are assigned to the colors in the document. To change these, mark a color and set the effect you want [7].

You can also select the material [8] on which the PDF will be printed from a predefined catalog.

In the "Properties" tab [4] you can edit the effects and create new ones.

If you wish to pass on the visualization, you can export the current preview as a 3D PDF. To do this, click the button [2] and select where the file will be stored.
