"Atrocious print quality" has nothing to do with PDF as opposed to any
other format. Unless of course you make a mess when converting to PDF.
You really need to know which options to use to retain print quality.
The default options when converting to PDF often lead to a significant
quality loss.

Internal layering? That does not really mean anything. But maybe what
they mean is that images are split into countless smaller objects that
are overlaid. That is the result of you using images with 256 colours
or less, which you should avoid at all cost when using the RISC OS
PostScript driver. In fact that is one of the main things the proposed
PostScript 3 driver will address.
