Postscript level 3 printers boast the ability of "Direct consumption of PDF files up to PDF version 1.5". Why is it then not possible to have a Postscript frame around PDF pages? The advantages would be self-evident:
* PDF gives smaller files, true page independence, far less chance of "flushing to end of file",...
* Postscript allows to control the printer: Paper tray selection, stapling,...

So, if it is not yet possible at present, should Adobe not try to make such a combination possible?
