I have a view to display my cocoa application data. Now i want to display the preview of that view in print panel accessory view. So i need to create a paginated pdf document.


How about using NSView's -dataWithPDFInsideRect: method?  The doc says:

Returns PDF data that draws the region of the receiver within a specified rectangle.
[...]
This data can be placed on an NSPasteboard object, written to a file, or used to create an NSImage object.

You could combine this with -rectForPage: to create a series of NSImages. There's probably some way to put these together into a single paginated PDF, but if your main purpose is to display a preview, this might suffice.
