Is 3D Distiller required to process U3D files in FM 8 ?

I'm playing with the eval version of FM 8, installed on a system that
already has Acrobat 8.1 Pro installed. The FM 8 installation refused
to install the embedded distiller because a more current version
already existed.

I've embedded a U3D file in a FM file, and everything looks good. The
3D menu is active and I can change background colors and suck.

But when I run it through the Acrobat 8.1 Pro distiller, there isn't
any 3D functionality in the PDF.

So the question is whether the FM 8 embedded distiller or Acrobat 8 3D
needs to be present in order to generate a 3D PDF from FM 8. Or if
there's something else required that I'm missing.

Thanks,
Art
