WebView, NSPrintOperation and Leopard

Hi All,

I'm the author of a relatively popular Automator action called
"Download URLs as PDFs" and it no longer functions in Leopard.  I
believe I have traced the problem, but I'm not sure how to fix it.

When the user chooses to download a paginated PDF, the action
calls NSPrintOperation on the documentView within the webView
and dumps it to a file.  This worked fine in Tiger, but apparently
NSPrintOperation in Leopard tries to lock the focus of the view it is
printing, resulting in an assertion failure:

11/1/07 8:09:03 PM Automator[3748] ** INTERNAL ERROR: Uncaught Exception **
Exception: lockFocus sent to a view which is not in a window


I tried using setHidden:YES on the view in question, which fixed
the error, but it also resulted in blank PDFs.  I suppose I could add
the webView to a window, but frankly I'm not sure how to work that
out in Automator.

Here are some snippets:

// Webview Creation
fakeWebView = [[WebView alloc] initWithFrame:NSZeroRect frameName:nil groupName:nil];
[fakeWebView setFrameLoadDelegate:self];
[fakeWebView setMaintainsBackForwardList:NO];


And later:

// Print Routine
NSPrintOperation *printOp;
printOp = [NSPrintOperation printOperationWithView:printView printInfo:printInfo];
[printOp setShowPanels:NO];
[printOp runOperation]; // There error happens somewhere in here.


My Cocoa has gotten extremely rusty, so forgive me if I'm missing
something completely obvious.

Thanks,

Scott
