The underlying program cif2mtz will convert everything it can recognise,
i.e. it will convert intensities or amplitudes or both, depending on
what is there.
But what is actually in a PDB cif structure factor file varies greatly.
For a start, there's a high chance there are no phases, so no map
without doing an extra step (simplest would be a couple of rounds of
refinement in refmac and take the map coefficients produced into Coot).
Hard to say more without details ....
