that's a very tall claim, and given what you write below, it *can't*
be true.

as you don't know this,
but I was one of the first people to get on the PDF bandwagon oh, I
don't know, so very many years ago around the time Apple did too. I
thought it was great stuff at the time for portability but my company
constantly told me that they never heard of it and that they didn't
want to support yet another file format. How dumb they were ... as
everyone supports PDF nowadays. But (if you believe me), that proves
I was early on the bandwagon.


actually, it proves you weren't.

apple adopted pdf as the internal graphics imaging model and native
file format for mac os x well after pdf became popular, not to get on
any bandwagon, but because pdf offered many advantages over display
postscript, what was used in nextstep/openstep.

prior to that, third party software was needed, and quite common on
macs. it just wasn't part of the os itself.

therefore, since you're using apple as a time marker, you were late to
the party, which means there were pdf writers you did *not* test, if
for no other reason that they existed before you 'got on the
bandwagon' and also because they were on a platform you do not use.
