I'm still hopeful that there's a way to get basic paths and fills
without too much trouble. It seems inconceivable that this is so
non-trivial ...
Quoting you, you deleted the non-trivial code necessary to draw - with
just a tiny API subset - the same stuff :

As Uli stated, you might avoid recording qd commands and emit the PICT
opcodes directly.
Or you might bug the author of "the other" application to upgrade his
App to parse / use PDFs.
I'd go the later route. PICT handling is not robust for anything but
the plain, non-alpha "bitmap" case. Painful experience from converting
PICT resources (with alpha) from some Quicktime sample code and some
requirement to modify and convert cicn resources - with mask - under
OS X.
