By the way, LaTeX and TeX existed long before PDFs were ubiquitous. A common workflow in the 1990s and prior was

TeX/LaTeX -> DVI -> PostScript -> printer

And DVI stands for "device independent", so the idea was you can take a DVI and convert it to any format. PDFs just eventually became the dominate format.
