    I wouldn't use postscript files from random sources in a local viewer (but I would on a printer). PostScript is a turing-complete language with filesystem and network access.

    Gzipped PDF? They do know about the Gzip compression option in the PDF standard, right? Use the PDF compression and you can open it directly in Acrobat, XPDF, kghostview, Preview, or whathaveyou.
