Both PostScript [tm] and Portable Document Format [tm] are published proprietary formats of Adobe (Aldus). Adobe provides extensive documentation on these formats but neither is well suited for document authoring purposes. Adobe has a vested interest in seeing the widespread use of these formats, and therefore promotes their adoption among third party developers. -- Eric G.
