When I bring my preferences window forward, it puts my document behind (as expected). However, I want my pref window to access the "current" document, which I guess is defined as the top most window that has a document associated with it. [[NSDocumentController sharedDocumentController] currentDocument] doesn't work because it returns the document associated with the main window, which is my preference window (so returns nil).

Your preference "window" should not be main. It may become key, but not main -- I would guess that you've used an NSWindow instead of an NSPanel.

See NSWindow 'canBecomeMainWindow' and <http://developer.apple.com/ documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/WinPanel/Concepts/ ChangingMainKeyWindow.html>

Once you fix this, [[NSDocumentController sharedDocumentController] currentDocument] should work correctly.
