The �portability� option should be irrelevant to the Distiller. That option was provided to two purposes:

(1) To get around ill-behaved applications that made assumptions about how the driver created PostScript and used GDI escape sequences to insert PostScript into the output stream. Example: FrameMaker versions prior to 5.1.

(2) To create PostScript that is semi page-independent to accommodate certain PostScript preprocessing applications that do not actually process PostScript.

This option is fairly useless for virtually all modern day applications and RIPs. It is totally irrelevant to distilling PostScript to create PDF.
