Hello all, Long time listener, first time poster...
I'm currently working on an app which needs to open files in their native application, print to a PDF (temp file) and then load the PDF and programmatically manipulate it. The main issue I am having is finding the correct API for implementing the printing (saving to a PDF) portion.
Essentially this is the "Print" action found in Finder so I expected to find something appropriate in "Launch Services" but that doesn't seem to contain what I need. I figured I could create a default printer that prints to temp PDF files, fire off a "print method" that would load the native app and print to the default printer, look in the temp folder for the new PDF, load that into my app, do what I need to do with it and then delete the temp file.
Sounds easy in theory, but I'm just not seeing what I need in the standard APIs, either Cocoa or Core Foundation.
Any ideas or nudges in the right direction are greatly appreciated.
