And for the people who wanted access to the "PDF" button in the print
dialog... What's going on there?
It looks as if we've now got a rogue "pop-up" button that isn't really part
of the sheet - unknown 5 of unknown 4 with AXRole *unknown* too :-(
What's that all about?
Meanwhile, Automator gets all sorts of new PDF services that none of us can
click on via AS or the UI...
I'm suspicious!
