You're very welcome.
For later exploration, JonesForth <https://github.com/phf/forth/tree/master/x86> is excellent exploration of Forth's internals.

I think you're describing stream compression, which appears to be utterly ubiquitous to the point that the knobs to turn it off have either technically bitrotted or faded well below our collective awareness threshold.
After poking around a bit I noticed ps2pdf supports a "CompressPages" option (https://web.mit.edu/ghostscript/www/Ps2pdf.htm), which might be what you're looking for.
Alternatively you might use something like `qpdf --stream-data=uncompress input.pdf output.pdf`.
qpdf (info: http://qpdf.sourceforge.net/, https://github.com/qpdf/qpdf) seems to be a good recommendation to add to the "mentally index the entire man page" list for anyone interested in PDF in general.

maths132-notes
Notes I wrote for Lee White's Maths 132 Differential Equations course, University of Melbourne, 1995-96
I used to love programming in PostScript.
This post prompted me to put some of my old math notes up on GitHub [1]. The final chapter on coupled differential equations sends the DE's parameters to the PostScript printer, where my PS code would execute the different equations and draw the resulting phase portrait.
My PS code is in that repo's README. The final results are in the notes.pdf file [2]. The best examples are in the last few pages.
