How can I create a PDF document from a string in a non-GUI application?

Hi all.

I am trying to create and save a PDF document where the contents of the PDF file is derived from a passed-in NSString. The method in question is in an application without a graphical component, so a solution using NSView's dataWithPDFInsideRect: seem to be out, as does using NSPrintOperation and its printOperationWithView:printInfo: method as this also takes an NSView as an argument.

I have also looked at PDFKit's PDFDocument intWithData:, but as I only have a string and this method requires PDF data encapsulated in an NSData object, this isn't helping much (passing in the string contents as a NSData object drew a blank)!

Does anyone have any ideas as to where I can direct my efforts, or have I overlooked something in the methods I mentioned earlier?

cheers

Will
