Overview
PyMOL can convert to formats (vrml2 and idtf) that can be converted to a 3D PDF (will not work with most PDF browser plugins; must be downloaded and viewed with certain viewers liked Adobe Acrobat 9.2+).
Note. The figure is only represented in cartoon format. No sticks yet...
Requirements
- PyMOL
- Universal 3D Sample Software - u3d converter - IDTF to U3D
- LaTeX (pdflatex)
Get IDFT file from PyMOL
- Save your molecule to an IDTF file in PyMOL:
save pymol.idtf, *
PyMOL will print a line that looks like:
3Daac=20.0, 3Droll=0, 3Dc2c=0 0 1, 3Droo=62.45, 3Dcoo=0 0 -62.45
copy this line into the pymol.tex file overwriting the same line in the file.
Windows - Convert the IDTF to U3D
Quick
- Download Universal 3D Sample Software - u3d converter - IDTF to U3D, and extract to Desktop
- Navigate to the bin folder: \Desktop\U3D_A_061228_5\Bin\Win32\Release
- Copy pymol.idtf in here.
- Hold shift key, right click in folder, click Open command window here.
Then copy this inot command window:
IDTFConverter -input pymol.idtf -output pymol.u3d
Copy the pymol.u3d into your LaTeX folder
General
- Download Universal 3D Sample Software - u3d converter - IDTF to U3D, and extract to C:\Program Files (x86)\U3D_A_061228_5
- Make a IDTF2U3D.bat and afterwards copy to C:\Windows.
@echo off
rem -- Run IDTFConverter --
set IDTF_EXE_DIR=C:\Program Files (x86)\U3D_A_061228_5\Bin\Win32\Release
if exist "%IDTF_EXE_DIR%\IDTFConverter.exe" goto haveProg
echo "%IDTF_EXE_DIR%\IDTFConverter.exe" not found
goto eof
:haveProg
if .%1==. goto noarg
"%IDTF_EXE_DIR%\IDTFConverter.exe" -input %1 -output %~n1.u3d
goto eof
:noarg
echo no arguments given.
echo IDTF2U3D pymol.idtf
:eof
echo Done
- Navigate to pymol.idtf. Right click, Open with..., Browse to: C:\Windows and select IDTF2U3D.bat
Copy the pymol.u3d into your LaTeX folder
Linux install - Convert the IDTF to U3D
- Currently you have to compile the u3d converter on Linux. I did that with:
- Some versions of Acrobat on Linux incorrectly parse the 3D data. Adobe knows about this and plans to fix it. Ironically, I created a 3D PDF on Linux but could only view it on Mac OS X.

cd u3d-1.4.3 ;
cmake . ;
make ;
chmod g+wx . ;
set IDDIR=$PWD ;
cat > IDTF2U3D << EOF
#!/bin/tcsh
set FOLD=\$PWD
set IN=\$PWD/\$1
cp -f \$IN $IDDIR
cd $IDDIR
./IDTFConverter -input \$1 -output \$1:r:t.u3d
cp -f \$1:r:t.u3d \$FOLD/
EOF
chmod +x IDTF2U3D
ln -s $PWD/IDTF2U3D ~/bin/IDTF2U3D
Then write in terminal
IDTF2U3D pymol.idtf
