I am back. Check out some snapshots from my Strasbourg talk: 
http://vdlee.free.fr/cyclo_jmol.pdf
which I will repeat at ECM26 in Darmstadt (European Crystallographic 
meeting: http://conventus.de/index.php?id=2841): a jmol/pdflatex powered 
presentation! Everybody is wellcome.
Take a look at slide 8, a difference Fourier map. This will take very 
long to load if you do not have enough computer power. My initial idea 
was to have three different transparent isosurfaces at different 
sigma-levels. Easy to do in Jmol with the new sigma-level keyword, but 
in the final pdf it did not come through, even not with my recent 
desktop computer.

True, a JmolApplet is better because you have all the functionality. The 
interest of these 3D-PDF files is however not to reach another 
community, but to do a presentation with everything embedded in the same 
file. Therefore I do not see much interest in creating just one 3D 
pdf-page - what will you do with? - but only a complete multipage 
beamer  pdf with 3D content with the aim to do a scientific 
presentation. You need of course to know a little bit more about Latex 
before you can do that.
