Excerpt
Excerpt: The Acrobat Distiller application converts PostScript language files into Portable Document Format (PDF) files. However, PDF has several features, such as annotations, bookmarks, articles, and forms, that have no counterpart in PostScript. The pdfmark operator is used to represent PDF features in PostScript language files. When PostScript files containing pdfmark s are processed by Acrobat Distiller, the corresponding PDF is generated. The use of pdfmark allows an independent software vendor (ISV) already supporting the PostScript language to support PDF features without having to write PDF files directly.
