I'm trying to embed a hyperlink in my distilled PDF using pdfmark, /URI, & ExtEscape with POSTSCRIPT_PASSTHROUGH.

It works when distilling an EPS but not a PS. Since my Postscript printer driver outputs PS and not EPS I'd like to know what I should change to make it work with PS.

 The only difference between the two examples below is the header on line 1:
This works:	%!PS-Adobe-3.0 EPSF-3.0
This doesn't work:	%!PS-Adobe-3.0

Examples:

This works:

%!PS-Adobe-3.0 EPSF-3.0 
%%BoundingBox: 0 0 72 72 
%%Creator: me 
%%Title: URL PDFMark 
%%BeginProlog 
%%EndProlog

%%BeginDocument: Pscript_Win_PassThrough 
[ /Rect [ 0 0 72 72 ] 
/Border [ 0 0 0 ] 
/Action << /Subtype /URI /URI (http://www.adobe.com) >> 
/Subtype /Link 
/ANN 
pdfmark 
%%EndDocument 


This doesn't work:

%!PS-Adobe-3.0 
%%BoundingBox: 0 0 72 72 
%%Creator: me 
%%Title: URL PDFMark 
%%BeginProlog 
%%EndProlog

%%BeginDocument: Pscript_Win_PassThrough 
[ /Rect [ 0 0 72 72 ] 
/Border [ 0 0 0 ] 
/Action << /Subtype /URI /URI (http://www.adobe.com) >> 
/Subtype /Link 
/ANN 
pdfmark 
%%EndDocument
