Introduction to Providing PDF Workflow Options in the Print Dialog

In OS X, it’s easy for users to save a document as a PDF file. All the user needs to do is open the Print dialog, press the PDF button, and select the Save As PDF option in the pop-up menu. The user assigns a name to the PDF file, chooses a location for the file, and optionally provides other metadata. For example, the user can type in passwords to protect the PDF file.

This document describes how users and software developers can provide other PDF workflow options, and where to install option information so that it appears automatically in the Print dialog.
