The current PDF has already been added to  Privileged Locations.

No prompt will pop up, Foxit will enable 3D directly or enable 3D after clicking the 3D area in PDF file.

Foxit will bring up a pop-up message which says "a 3D PDF file,it will bring up a message which says "Some features have ben disabled to avoid potential security risks. Only enable these features if you trust this document."

• If you choose " Trust this document one time only" this option,Foxit will enable 3D directly or enable the 3D after clicking on the 3D area in the PDF file. Before the existing document is closed, it is equivalent to temporarily adding the PDF file to privileged locations.And the "file in the privileged locations temporarily” will become invalid after the document is closed.
• If you choose "Trust this document always" this optoin,Foxit will add the existing PDF file to privileged locations and will then enable 3D directly or enable 3D after clicking on the 3D area in the PDF file. After then, this PDF file will be opened with "PDF file in privileged locations" this workflow.
• If you choose "Cancel" or "Close": The document will be opened in read-only mode which won't enable 3D in PDF file.

Foxit will enable 3D directly or enable 3D after clicking the 3D area in PDF file. However, the opened pdf file won't be added into privileged locations.

Foxit will bring up a pop-up message which says "3D content has been disabled. Enable this feature if you trust this document."

• If you choose "Trust this document one time only"option,Foxit will enable 3D directly or enable the 3D after clicking on the 3D area in the PDF file.

• If you choose "Cancel" or "Close": The document will be opened in read-only mode which won't enable 3D in PDF file.

• Open security PDF documents (local documents): the workflow is the same as the above-mentioned "Protect View-off " mode.
• Open potentially insecure PDF documents (web pages, links...): the workflow is the same as the" Protect View-All Files" this mode that will be mentioned in the next field.

Foxit will bring up the "Protected View" bulb message on the top right corner.

• If you don't click on the 'Enable All Features' button in the bulb message,the PDF file will be opened in read-only mode which won't enable 3D in PDF file.
• If you click on click on the 'Enable All Features' button in the bulb message, the PDF file will be directly added into privileged locations,then Foxit will enable 3D directly or enable 3D after clicking the 3D area in the PDF file. After then, this PDF file will be opened with"PDF file in privileged locations flow".
