PDF is not just simplified, compressed encoding of PostScript. Or at least - LaTeX have some features PDF-only. For example PDF can have hyper-links (both to local and external content). It can be scripted in JavaScript (don't ask me why) and can have form (OK. So I can fill them and print probably). Regards
