acroread4 is a script but:
remoudou# acroread4 -toPostScript -level2 -fast -size a4 -pairs zzz.pdf
xxxxxxxxx -toPostScript -level2 -fast -size a4 -pairs zzz.pdf
xxxxxxxxxxx

(the line between xxxxxxx is the result of
        echo xxxxxxxxx ${1+"$@"}  xxxxxxxxxxx
  exec "$ACRO_EXEC_CMD" ${1+"$@"}   
)

output is :
 acroread4: usage is -toPostScript -pairs in1.pdf
out2.ps                                                                             

so it takes args but ask for the out2.ps file ( the missing /dev/stdout 
)

another test:
sh -x /usr/local/bin/acroread4 -toPostScript -level2 -fast -size a4
-pairs zzz.pdf /dev/stdout  

...
+ ACRO_EXEC_CMD=/usr/local/Acrobat4/Reader/intellinux/bin/acroread
+ [ -toPostScript = -DEBUG ]
+ [ -f /usr/local/Acrobat4/Reader/intellinux/bin/acroread ]
+ exec /usr/local/Acrobat4/Reader/intellinux/bin/acroread -toPostScript
-level2 -fast -size a4 -pairs zzz.pdf
/dev/stdout                                      


	So .... don't know ....
