From my experience this means the function to print to a PDF file
that is built in to the print dialogue in OS X. I.E. one can create a
PDF from any file that one can print. Very useful. OS X also includes
its own PDF viewer so there's no need for 3rd party SW.

FYI - In OS X since day one, PDF has been a system native file format.
The System supplies services to the applications that allow any
application
to save or open documents in the format based on the published PDF
Specs.
Microsoft were said to be providing something which could open
PDF's but
only save as something not quite PDF. The article does not make
clear what
will now happen.
PDF is now sometimes used to send documents and permitted Fonts to
Printshops for printing where Quark and increasingly Adobe InDesign
reign.
All of these formats produce huge files. Not all print shops can
work with
InDesign because of software and learning issues.

Is this right "In OS X since day one, PDF has been a system native
file
format."? If so, Macs should be able to edit PDF files natively.
Or ????
