I got it when I read the page, but my poor senile brain didn't
supply the right pronunciation when I first saw it.

I thought the Adobe "Document Structuring Conventions" apply
to postscript, not PDF?  Since a PS program is a general purpose
program, people needed to follow conventions (like separating
each page between magic comments) to make it easy to
parse postscript.    PDF doesn't need this since a badly
structured PDF file just won't parse, and is inherently broken
into pages.  Did you just mean to say "The input PDF file should comply with
[insert version of PDF spec here]"?
