Actually, the problem that we have found is that each PostScript pre-processing program appears to interpret DSC differently and some of them try to do pattern-matching of PostScript to pick up further information with regards to the PostScript file. When you look at the combinations and permutations of what is generated by programs producing EPS imported into mainline publishing programs which add their own DSC and further aggrevated by drivers adding even more DSC. Since "correctly" generating DSC as well as PostScript is so problematic, PDF provides a much better alternative for prepress added value functionality. - Dov
