That description is incorrect. PDF is not PostScript; it explicitly
leaves out all the programming-language constructs of PostScript.

The risks with PDF come from other things, like embedded links, and I
think you can also embed JavaScript--which reintroduces all the
programming-language-vulnerability headaches.

None of this should be relevant to what I thought should be a simple
task: converting a sequence of scanned page images to a PDF file.
