I think you are mistaken if you think PDF is not a programming language. PDF is just a packaged-up subset of PostScript, with some enhancements and conventions for adding metadata. It's true that PDF doesn't have the full freedom PostScript has (like being constrained to one page at a time), but it really is a programming language.

Oh, it turns out in my ignorance, PDF is much more of a subset than I thought... I thought it still had control structures, but they are not there.
