I was curious and searched the web for postscript quoted-printable, it seems to be a common enough treatment with occasional bugs here and there. Also, despite PS/EPS/PDF being so similar, it seems that at somepoint someone declared PS is a text format but PDF is binary.
The original Postscript printers almost always talked to their hosts over RS-232 serial links, and 7bits+parity was quite common. Therefore, programs that generated Postscript invariably produced 7bit clean output. PDF never faced such challenges, and has always been a binary format. --lyndon
