In an ideal world:
PDFs with 3D models should print normally.
And PDF viewers that doesn't support 3D models should display at least a
static image.
I have tested preview.app and ggv and neither of these support 3D
models, neither of these display an static image.
If someone has already make a cryo-EM map conversion to a PDF 3D model I
would love to see it.
This PDF is awesome:
