You can, of course, re-enable support for PDF/PS. See the following post: https://cromwell-intl.com/open-source/pdf-not-authorized.html
That description is incorrect. PDF is not PostScript; it explicitly leaves out all the programming-language constructs of PostScript. The risks with PDF come from other things, like embedded links, and I think you can also embed JavaScript--which reintroduces all the programming-language-vulnerability headaches. None of this should be relevant to what I thought should be a simple task: converting a sequence of scanned page images to a PDF file.
