Sorry to follow up on myself, it turns out that NSPrintOperation is a class cluster, so the normal rules of engagement with subclassing and improving behaviour don't work. *sigh* I've never liked class clusters, they have to go.
In the meantime, it's time to fire up my raw C skills and edit the PDF file directly...

I've been racking my brain and the documentation on how to set PDF attributes when I want to save a view as PDF. Currently I'm achieving this using the NSPrintOperation class and the resulting PDF file is nice. However, I can't seem to find a way to set the meta data attributes on the PDF file (and I can't use the PDFKit because my code has to run on Panther as well).
The only Apple way I can find is by subclassing NSPrintOperation and override -createContext and there using CGPDFContextCreate() set the attributes. Is there a better way that anyone has tried? Any caveats I need to be aware of?
