I've been reading with interest the post on ripping .ps files vs .pdf files, but am still short of a definitive answer. There are hints that a Level 3 postscript rip can "rip" a pdf file natively (without an intermediary convert to postscript in the background pdf2ps step). Is this true? Or do all rips have to perform the conversion.

I look at documentation from many rip manufacturers (Creo Spire, Agfa Apogee, et al.) who claim to rip pdfs. Is this all marketing spin? or do pdf workflow rips actual rip pdf files?

Subsequently, there is mention in some posts of Adobe Extreme, is this the same as level 3?
