Perhaps, but it's easier to open up and edit a .ps file in a text editor than a PDF. PDF is a binary format with compressed streams, while postscript is just a stack-oriented programming language.

Tools like qpdf makes it easy to edit a .pdf file in a text editor too. I’d argue using such tools is easier than and simpler than printing to postscript.
Sure. I've not tried it. Was it around in 2002? Because that's when my story occured.
