Abstract
This chapter discusses PDF by showing how to use Quartz to create new PDF documents. Creating new PDF documents in Quartz is straightforward, primarily because the PDF file format is the graphics metafile format used by the Quartz imaging model. All drawing performed using Quartz is captured with high fidelity when the content is captured as as a PDF document. PDF is the graphics data format used on the Clipboard, so to support cutting and pasting data between applications.
