It should be quite possible to convert 3D model in STL format (used for 3D printing) to a 3D PDF document, in which you can see a rotatable model of the object. This can be done in several CAD programs with 3D PDF support, as well as dedicated CAD conversion software and is most likely what users are looking for when they search for stl to pdf conversion.

The tables with software actions are a good pointer for what a certain program does with various file types and often may give users a good hint how to perform certain file conversion, for example the above-mentioned stl to pdf. However, it is not perfect and sometimes can show results which are not really usable because of how certain programs work with files and the possible conversion is thus actually not possible at all.
