PDB to PDF converter

The PDB (Protein Data Bank) file format is used to store 3-dimensional structural data of biological molecules, such as proteins and nucleic acids, which can be visualized with chemical visualization programs. The PDB file contains information about the atom's coordinates, the residue name and sequence number, the secondary structure information, and numbers and names of hetero-atoms.

The PDB files are faithfully adopted to the widely used mmCIF (macromolecular Crystallographic Information File) syntax and are loosely associated with the following formats: mdl (Mol), mol2 (Tripos), sdf (Sparta), and cif (Cambridge).

The Portable Document Format (PDF) is a file format developed by Adobe in the early 1990s and used widely for distributing documents across networks and intranets. PDFs are designed to maintain the formatting of a document, and can contain text, images, hyperlinks, and 3D objects. PDF files are typically much smaller in size than their native counterparts and can be accessed on a range of devices, including mobile and tablet.

PDFs can be protected with passwords or digital signatures to prevent editing. They can also be locked from printing or copying. Furthermore, they offer text searching support, allowing users to easily locate material within a file. PDFs are often used for sharing official documents between organizations due to their security feature-set.
