Well, it's a descendant of Postscript (much like JSON is a descendant of Javascript, loosely)

Society would probably never recover if we started implementing RPC-in-Postscript though.

7.5.6 "Incremental updates" from the specification is an interesting section too, speaking about accessing data people didn't think to remove from PDF files properly.
