This crazy document will use #LaTeX for most of it, but #heirloom #doctools for the diagrams. Why? Because I already have a library for #pic and a #Makefile, and I am not afraid to use them. #GraphicsMagick seems to handle converting #PostScript to EPS better than #GhostScript in my situation?! 😕

Wife: Why do you have to pretend to print a document to save it as a PDF?

Me: Do you really care?

Wife: Yes.

Me: Okay so Adobe had this thing called PostScript, which was a page description language that was also a full…

Wife: This is too long of an explanation and I’ve stopped caring.

Explainer: PDF format

https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://eclecticlight.co/2025/11/29/explainer-pdf-format/

$Yesterday’s explainer covered a range of text formats, but stopped short of one of the most popular formats for text documents, Adobe’s Portable Document Format, PDF. Its origins are as old as the Mac, and it hasn’t changed much since the start of this century, so PDF is very different from the more recent file formats, and from its antecedent PostScript. <h4>PostScript</h4> PostScript files, with the extension .ps, start with a prologue containing metadata such as <code>%!PS-Adobe-3.0 %%Title: c:\output\online.dvi %%Creator: DVIPSONE 0.8 1991 Nov 30 16:22:12 SN 102 %%CreationDate: 1992 Mar 26 10:04:36</code> They then largely consist of dictionaries of PostScript programs, instructions that are to be used to construct the page being described, such as <code>%%Page: 3 4 dvidict begin bp % [3] 38811402 d U -34996224 d u -1582039 d U 29614244 r f2(3)s O o 34996224 d u -34340864 d u 8708260 r(of)s 185088 W(abstractions,)s 191757 X(such)S(as)S(\\mixed)S(blessing")S(and)S(\\retaliation,")T(in)S (semantic)S(nets)S(that)s o</code> and so on. These place each item of text and graphics on that page. PDF is completely different in that it consists of a tree of objects, sometimes many hundreds or thousands of them. <h4>PDF</h4> To be recognised as a PDF file, the first line must start with the ‘magic’ characters and give the ve$
