It seems that Acrobat does not allow grouping q...Q inside BT...ET sections (xpdf tolerates it). There is currently no way to guarantee that a literal text does not end up in a BT...ET section without using the plain \pdfliteral {} mode (without "direct"). But then one has the matrix transform, which precludes grouping; well, here is a funny counter-example: q Q deals with the graphic state only (mostly characteristics of line drawing, not that this is an excuse for acrobat fo rnot handling them -)
I'm not sure I understand Hartmut correctly: "BT q Q ET" is not allowed,
this is what \pdfliteral et {} avoids
but "q BT ET Q" is
this is the new stuff that can be done with \pdfliteral et {} Regards, Hartmut
