RTFD to PDF

Hi

I am aiming to read a RTFD from disk, edit its contents and write the output to a PDF file. I would like the PDF to be a hybrid of text and graphics i.e. not just a bit map representation of the RTFD. Finally, I hope that the PDF page size will be the same as the RTFD template. I will have two templates - US Letter and A4.

I have read the docs and think I can do the above. However, when I test the PDF output with the code below I get an empty PDF. The problem is that myRect is 0 by 0. I have also tried [theTemplate frame] also to get a rectangle but it is 0 by 0 also. BTW the RTFD output is OK so there appears to be no problems with reading the template.

NSText *theTemplate = [[NSText alloc] init];
if ([theTemplate readRTFDFromFile:templatePath]) {

//PDF Output
NSRect myRect = [theTemplate bounds];
NSData *pdfData = [theTemplate dataWithPDFInsideRect:myRect];
[pdfData writeToFile:@"/testOutput.pdf" atomically:YES];

//RTFD Output
[theTemplate writeRTFDToFile:@"/testOutput.rtfd" atomically:YES];
}
else NSLog(@"Error reading template");


Any pearls of wisdom would be greatly appreciated.

Best regards
