Yes, I'd rather have PDF instead of Postscript: it has a good model of
page-formatted documents, as Postscript does; it supports links, which
Postscript doesn't; it allows cut and paste (well, mainly just cut)
operations on text in the document, which Postscript doesn't;
`ghostscript' works quite well on it, as with Postscript.
