I also think so, it seems like AcrobatReader does not recalculates anything
during printing PDF file (to same language level), because it does spooling
too fast.

I have no ready-to-use files, only hints...

In Adobe's PDF reference manual, item 2.4 "PDF and PostScript language"
(pp25-26) there is instruction what to do to print PDF.
Here "procsets" file is mentioned, which should define such PDF-like
operators as T*, Tj, and so on, but there is no exact implementation of
them.
I've got such definitions using two different ways - printing from
AcrobatReader to file and extracting from there. Another way is to
understand clearly file pdf_ops.ps from GhostView distribution (I use 6.01).


Also there may be a problem with PostScript LanguageLevel. I think PDF-1.2
is related to PostScript level2, and PDF-1.3 - level3 postscript. But I'm
not sure.

I think both ways can lead to final result...

Good luck,
Vadim.
