Fit will if I map .PS to adobe acrobat. File extensions are just mappings.

While that is true, I bet if you change your PDF file to a .PS Illustrator
won't open it any more and nor will anything else.  PDF files are based
arround PostScript files and do have some similarities but they ARE NOT
postscript files any more than your Ford Focus is a Model-T, based on it
yes, looks like it, to some degree, but is it? NOPE!
