Regarding the new PDF workflow feature introduced in OS X 10.2.4...
When a script is chosen from the print dialog, a new folder is
created in /private/tmp/ for each PDF file. Does OS X purge this
folder automatically or is it up to the scripter to delete or
otherwise deal with the newly created folder when the script is
finished?
If you (or your users...I'll just say "you") are allowing the daily cron
task to run, the leftovers will be removed after 3 days by this stanza in
/etc/daily (or /private/etc/daily, if you prefer to think of it that way):

Thanks John!
Or, you could clean up in the script. ;-)
Done! It's much easier to just script them to the Trash. ;-)
For anyone who wants a "Send PDF via Eudora" script for use with the
PDF menu in print dialogs, I've poached Apple's sample code and
adapted it to Eudora.
