I could create a virtual printer driver and then use the automator action but I don't like the idea of confusing the user with an extra printer in the print list. Some applications have the ability to generate PDF files (for instance, if you send 'save doc in "test.pdf"' to Pages it will generate a PDF (but this only works for Pages - I need support for any type of document). There's a Finder action for printing any file but only to a real printer. There's a PDF library for Automator but it provides actions for working with PDF files, not generating them. I ideally want this to work with any type of document. However, I need to generate the PDF file without requiring user interactions. The standard Macintosh Print dialog has a PDF button which has a number of PDF-related commands including "Save as PDF.". I'm working on a project for OSX where the user can pick a collection of documents (from any application) which I need to generate PDF's from.
