No, that is not the case. The RISC OS PostScript driver never makes a
bitmap out of anything that is not already a bitmap. It can produce
huge output for some bitmaps though. If that was the cause of the
problem, the PostScript 3 driver would help. However, the huge size
could also be caused by the way !PDF interprets the PDF file. Of
course, without the actual file, this is all speculation.
