PDF is a subset of PS, such that a PDF file can be converted to PS
without processing the actual data.  That is, pdftops is a fairly
simple program.

On the other hand, you do need something like ghostscript to
convert PS to PDF.  For PS files containing a single bit image
per page, it might be fairly simple.  Also, you should tell GS the
right resolution, so it doesn't have to resample any images.
