postscript? I tried with either format but the text kept been converted

Thanks,

Vim is a text editor. PDF files contain both text data and binary data. I
woudn't try editing them with Vim: too much risk of f...ouling it all up by
not knowing what I'm doing.
If you want to see what PDF looks like when printed, use Acrobat Reader. If
you want to edit it, I guess you'll have to buy some PDF editor from Adobe.
PostScript can, IIUC, be viewed in Vim, and even with syntax highlighting --
but as PostScript code, not as WYSIWYG rendered text. That's great if you want
to "program" in PostScript.
Best regards,
Tony.
