saving jpg's in pdfs

Apple provide nice and easy apis to take a view/image and save it as a pdf. As most everyone knows the resulting file size is huge compared to a jpg. I realize the reason for this is that there is little or no compression allowed and that a pdf is a pdf and a jpg is a jpg. However, it is my understanding that a jpg can be embedded into a pdf along with Quicktime movies, gifs, and other less trivial things found in the basement ect..... this embedding is completely normal in the pdf specs.

Does anyone have an idea in code how can this be done with Cocoa. I have looked at the pdf specs and the huge 1400 page format manual Adobe supplies. I would rather spend the time reading manuals on core data. Does anyone know if there are any apis where you can tell a view that what ever composes the view in creating a pdf of the view, to use and embed the components comprising the view......or even better, telling the apis to save a view as pdf, to compress it as a jpg and embed the jpg in the pdf. There is a 10 fold savings in file space saved when doing this.
