It might helpful for you to explain what you're trying to accomplish by exporting the 3D graphic to a vector PDF file. Do to limitations of the PDF format it will not look the same as what you see on screen in Mathematica (and the closer the PDF looks to the original, the larger the file will be). Does your desire for editability outweigh your desire for accurate visual reproduction? -Rob
