- layer8 3y agoYes, parts (or all) of a PDF page could be expressed in PostScript as special objects. The separate (from PostScript) regular drawing primitives of PDF are inspired by PostScript, but those only form a sub-language within the PDF format, which adds enveloping structures and many other features.
