In summary, yes, the transformations PDF-to-PostScript and PostScript-to-PDF are possible, but while the end results may be similar, they are by no means identical.For more on PostScript and PDF, see the extensive bibliography at http://www.math.utah.edu/pub/tex/bib/postscri.bib [change .bib to .html for a similar Web view, but with live hyperlinks].Great piece on PS and PDF Nelson, indeed. I have loved ps for years,
Thanks for the explanations all along this thread on PS and PDF. I've written some PS-generating applications back around the end of the 80's and enjoyed writing vector graphics.
These years I discovered svg and like *writing* drawings in the source. Emacs is great at that: with ctrl-C ctrl-C you toggle representation between graphics and source. The problem is rather to view and print the result with other applications - didn't try to print directy from Emacs yet; I'm afraid it'd print the source.
The web browsers are good to display svg but not to print it; Scribus messes with patterns even on display; Inkscape is fine if used to produce PS, not PDF. The PS can be converted to PDF with ps2pdf and the result is correct, but the file is bigger and, now, I kow why.
It is always tricky to properly scale the drawing on the page: although svg has no explicit dimension, the applications all seem to assume it has some, and it's never the one which makes the image match the page size of the printer. Maybe the easiest way to properly scale the drawing is to embed it in an html document.
