embed pcl or postscript commands in pdf

Hello!

 

I am currently facing the problem, that I want to specify the paper-source tray for the pages of a pdf, that is sent directly to the printer. I know that there is no way to do this directly in the PDF. Or are there plans to put this into one of the next standards?

Printing PDFs on the printer using "PDF Direct" for example works great, but we also need to select different trays.

So, I am now trying to add PJL/PCL commands in front of the PDF, but these PJL commands are valid only for the whole PDF. And I only got it to work one time, that a PDF with the PJL/PCL commands in front, was printed from the desired tray.

Well, now here is my question: Is there a way to add PCL or even Postscript commands to a PDF and specify the tray on a per PDF or even per page granularity? And how would I achieve this?

Or in general: How can I embed Postscript commands into a PDF?

 

Thanks for your help!

 

Kind regards,

Johannes
