Comment 13 for bug 1243484

Not to be pedantic, but while this is not very usual (especially for PS code produced by vanilla applications), it is a lot easier for PS code to be more adaptive. The CUPS test page is actually a good example of this. PDF is generally completely constrained by the page dimensions.

The main reason this came up is because of acceptance tests that the QA department of one of our customers ran with the latest versions of Linux distributions. They noticed that the behavior for certain PDF and PS files changed from what it used to be, and whether or not this is a practical everyday use, this in turn was interpreted as not conforming to the expected output. And to the extent that the format of the output changed for the same files with the exact same job options, they were technically correct...
