I've never heard of "3d pdf" files. I have no idea how one converts from "3d pdf" to stl.

Also a first for me... But maybe you can just export them as .STL or .OBJ

Or export them to some other 3D software that can?

From there, to making them actually print nice, is a whole other story...

The 3D PDF isn't really showing any 3D for me. Guess it's not that usual to have 3D PDFs...

They are not 3d models but 3d views stored in pdf files for sharing
