PDF and addSaveOptionsAccessoryViewToSavePanel

Posted by: artlythere <artlythere@...>

Grisly, but I added a plain menu option for saving as PDF for this version at least.

Would be nice if Apple is going to provide such things to also provides a simple means to implement them. CoreImage save routines do not work with the options and dictionaries if you set them up for PDF...it seems. The solution appears to be over off somewhere in PDFKit or something?

Not much online documentation about enabling Quartz filtering, and didn't find anything on enabling password and encryption options?

I do not know how to get rid of, or otherwise Enable their use during save, the myriad PDF options that then show up for PDF popup setting there?
The default option allows for QuartzFilter and Encrypt, also password....and I can't save any of that using any engine I know of or find anywhere? Or apply the Quartz Filter?
I think I am going to have to disable that option entirely, and have it separate for PDF, as an Export option? That's goofy, but the only way to get the slider for the PNG and JPEG options...was to use the IOKit.
[mSaveOptions addSaveOptionsAccessoryViewToSavePanel: saveSheet];
I am sure missing the RP. : (  This is the kind of thing we always dealt with, and he had the answer, eventually. 
There's some extreme jump through the hoops way to do it with the Quartz filtering, but I forget where I saw it. Seems simpler to just delete it from the popup as a type option and adda a separate Save as PDF under the Save As Copy...that opens the dialog to start with,.
Which is goofy, UI wise, but the only way I can think?
Since I don't have control over the default view, not sure how or if I can remove just the extras part in the PDF section after the fact...
