If you get to a standard print dialog, and choose preview, what you are
printing goes to the preview app,
where you can save as pdf.
So if you can tie into the built in printing system, you get it for free.

When I'd first heard we were going to have some kind of PDF technology
underlying the graphics in OSX, I asked around and generally heard
that this meant any app would be able to read, write, and edit PDF
files. That's really great, I thought, because it truly would be a big
step towards a paperless office.
But now that OSX is here, I see a distinct lack of support for PDF.
I'd heard one Mac author say that any web page could be instantly
converted into a pdf, but I can't find a browser that does this. Am I
missing something? Are there apps out there that let me edit PDF
documents easily and intuitively, with the exception of Acrobat?
Can an app I write instantly gain the ability to edit a PDF document
via some Cocoa library? If so, that's great, and where is the API? If
not, can someone please explain the benefit of having PDF underlying
the graphic display in OSX?
Also, I appologize in advance for twisting and distorting the truth
about what is and is not possible in Cocoa, what I may and may not
have heard, for possibly using the wrong words in the wrong order,
offending people by the use of the word 'pustule' and generally being
a Mac programmer who is now learning Cocoa. I bow the NSGods of the
list and patiently await the answer to my humble question.
