Oops. that should have been 10.12.1 Beta (16B2338c)..

I agree with that.
PDFKit is long in the tooth and the documentation is a bit patchy.
However there is no way I can just write it off.
My solution involves assembling multipage PDFs from templates that incorporate a static base PDF over which I write text derived from my object model.
The composed PDF is then viewed, printed or exported.
On 10.9 to 10.11 peace reigns.
The 10.12 issues are rather unpredictable.
Some documents render fine others don’t.
Obviously this makes tracking down the source of the issues tough.
It also makes it difficult to come up with meaningfully directed bug reports to send back in to bugreporter.apple.com.
It would be helpful if someone from the PDFKit development team would chip in with insight into how the kit has changed in 10.12.
If not I might need to go down the route of a TSI.
Jonathan
