I am not 100% sure but I seem to recall someone telling me that pdfs embed any fonts that are used, whereas ps files expect the fonts in question to be on the machine that you look at the ps file with. This could be a strong argument in favor of pdf files if you are sending the files to others.
Does anyone know if that is correct or if I am remembering wrong?
Here comes the question: if the above all stands true, why do I ever need PS format at all? There might be some reasons to keep this format still existing. Perhaps in other areas, other then office work. So the conclusion: for typical office workers, we can forget PS format.
