I have a nuts idea...I don't know enough about PDF to know if it's even
feasible -at all-. But... Someone once told me they use the printer code
table to generate different things than print codes. HTML was their one
example. Is it possible to make a PDF printer code table wherein you can
directly format it in PDF language to begin with, just by using a different
printer definition?
