.PDF files are PostScript. Open one in a text editor, you'll see.
No. The commands are not the same. Take a PostScript document, convert
it in a pdf one and compare the output of them both in a text editor.
You'll see it's not the same. There is way more binary data in a pdf
file than in a PostScript one.
