Actually, there are no printers that �boast the ability of �direct consumption of PDF files up to PDF version 1.5��.

Adobe PostScript 3 devices that support PDF:

(1) currently (as of October 22, 2003) only support PDF 1.4 or earlier depending upon date of the software AND

(2) don't directly �consume� PDF. PDF is translated first to PostScript internally. It is the PostScript that is fully RIPped.

There was never any specification for mixing-and-matching of PostScript with PDF.
