I guess the real question is: Why, if you ever want anything more than reading from a pdf, you have to hunt down a list of tools (acroread, evince, okular) and hope to find one that does what you want (select a column, fill out fields in a normal font, copy text with newlines intact)…

  Do you often find yourself needing 3D in pdfs? I know it's there but have never encountered it in the wild. Is it a certain field or specialty that uses this feature?
