I have seen pdf files with 3D objects embedded in it, using the U3D format, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_3D
but I don't think there's a device for this in R; in fact there may not even exist a third-party post-processing route available at this time to bridge the gap between rgl and this format. It sure would be nice, though.
