I suspect it's like PostScript, or metafiles, or executable code
in general: it all depends on what's generating the PDF file.
Some PDFs are apparently just bitmaps, others a mix of text and
bitmap, others just text. The existence of a PDF print driver
doesn't mean what goes through it will be the best.
