Probably it's more common to present a sheet saying "Saving is disabled in this demo.  Click this button to buy the real version…".  That's easy to paste in.

Isn't that a bit redundant? Or should I be building an invocation around the selector I'm given rather than assuming the signature? I tried that, and it crashes hard, so I'm guessing that's not a good idea. I don't understand why these callbacks are so convoluted instead of just asking for a simple YES or NO answer to be returned.

Indeed, the document-saving API is complicated and tricky.  I learned from this:

Whatever you do, test it well.
