I'm running 10.3 and so don't have the PDFKit. Obviously it is
possible to load PDFs without it because Preview has done it since the
beginning. If possible I would like to have the ability to display
text in the same view.
I looked inside Preview's nibs but as usual with Apple apps, the most
useful part is done programmaticly.
You can read and draw PDF documents using Core Graphics. In
particular you want to create a CGPDFDocument.
In 10.3 and before, you can draw the PDF information using
CGContextDrawPDFDocument
For 10.4 and later, however, you should use the CGPDFDocument to
obtain a CGPDFPage and draw the individual pages using
CGContextDrawPDFPage
