Our app currently makes use of built-in PDF generation for export and print, essentially by calling [NSView dataWithPDFInsideRect:].
However, users are asking for more professional print features such as converting to CMYK colour spaces, resampling of images, control over embedding fonts, knockout, bleed and the like. I'm just not sure where to start with this - hitherto my understanding was that converting to PDF put the onus on the print destination to resolve these issues but I'm not sure if that's the case. Even an apparently simple thing like setting the colourspace for the destination context isn't immediately obvious.
Can someone point me in the right direction? I'm happy to drop down to the lower level PDF generation APIs if that's the way to go, but that seems more geared for creating multi-page PDF documents, which is not what I really need - all my output will be single page, just with professional print features.
