I wish more PDF authors knew this but it doesn't get advertised too
well. As Leo mentioned, you can store models in there but the
first thing people do is save space by removing information. If it
is so easy to embed links to information, why stick us with
bloated digitized cave drawings when a finite alphabet has proven
to be of great worth in the advancment of communications?
