MacOS X's "Quartz" PDF layer is a strange mix, it contains not even 1.2 
completely... It doesn't support most of what you need in prepress -- that's 
why Distiller for MacOS X will certainly come (Acrobat itself is already 
carbonated). Widgets aren't supported as well.

In detail:
-- no Type 3 fonts (that is, most traditional TeX PDFs will not work)
-- no transfer curves, screening settings, OPI support
-- no trapping, no overprint settings
-- no filling patterns, smooth shades, transparency
-- no mask paths
-- no output profile (output intent) possible (needed for PDF/X-3)
-- no JBIG2 compression
-- no hypertext functions (links, widgets...)

(AFAIK this list is valid for 10.2, but don't know exactly about Quartz 
Extreme)
