>From lurking on the list, I get the impression that there are a bunch of new image manipulation features available on OSX. Does anybody know if it possible to create PDFs from the clipboard contents with Applescript?

If your clipboard does contain PDF data (a string starting with "%PDF" IIRC), that will be four lines of script with the Smile editor.

--------------------------
set w to make new graphic window
set front pdf of w to thePDFData
close front pdf of w
draw w
--------------------------

If your clipboard contains something else then you've got to create the PDF record: do it with Smile. Smile is free and includes a PDF generation AppleScript library.
