Older PDFs support PostScript XObjects: literal embedded PostScript code. Not sure it counts tho, because IIRC it was never executed by PDF viewer itself. It was "gives this to printer when printing"
> Beginning with PDF 1.1, a content stream can include PostScript language fragments. These fragments are used only when printing to a PostScript output device; they have no effect either when viewing the document on-screen or when printing it to a non-PostScript device. In addition, applications that understand PDF are unlikely to be able to interpret the PostScript fragments. Hence, this capability should be used with extreme caution and only if there is no other way to achieve the same result. Inappropriate use of PostScript XObjects can cause PDF files to print incorrectly.
> Note: Since PDF 1.4 encompasses all of the Adobe imaging model features of the PostScript language, there is no longer any reason to use PostScript XObjects. This feature is likely to be removed from PDF in a future version.

TIL! This is what PDF 1.7 spec says (§4.7.1):
