My ultimate goal is an application that is like a printer's PDF
workflow, that will allow page manipulations like resizing /
cropping / adding bleed information, and imposing multiple pages onto
one with crop marks and the like. After researching it seems like
some of the functions (imposition with crop marks, page cropping/
scaling with/without preserving aspects, etc) are best suited for
quartz, while the rest (page reordering/inserting, rotating, etc) have
Cocoa APIs. I'm not clear on how to accomplish the more advanced
requirements without creating a CGPDFDocumentRef to draw into a custom
quartz context.
If there is a more sane way to accomplish these tasks please let me
know! :)
Thank you for your help!

Joel was right. I think it would be easier for you to stay in PDF
Kit (PDFView) and do your transforms there.
Since I don't know exactly what you are doing, I can't recommend
specific advice. If you explain what you think you need to do with
CGPDFDocumentRef, I'll try to suggest a parallel way of doing it in
PDF Kit.
