Thanks, Aaron. I'll check out the links you mention. But I'm wondering what's happening in general, in all applications, what is the process of drawing an NSView, NSText and so on to end up with a PDF document, not from my own application perspective. In other words, would it be possible to instruct a given application to print a document to a PDF file automatically, without intervention from the user? The functionality is there as you can do it from the print dialog, but I'm wondering if it can be programmatically be done.
