Salut Julien,
Looks like you forgot to set the value of the pointer.
CGPDFContextCreateWithURL() was therefore called with a pointer to a zero rect.
Try this:
page_rectangle = NSMakeRect(0,0,100,100)
page_rectangle_pointer = Pointer.new_with_type(NSRect.type) # Using
NSRect.type is better than pasting the whole signature here
page_rectangle_pointer[0] = page_rectangle
