Whoops, I sent this yesterday but didn't hit reply-all...

Thanks Joel, I just took a look at the PDFAnnotationEditor example. 
It seems to be doing all of it's transformations in the PDFView 
subclass.  I'm not sure if I am able to do this since I would like to 
perform the impositions by working strictly with the data of the 
PDFDocument.

David's book is fantastic, I'm been using it plus a lot of inspiration 
to get to where I am now.  It has been essential on this journey.

In my naiveté, I had hoped that I could cast between the two with a 
smaller performance penalty than converting PDFDocument -> NSData -> 
CGPDFDocumentRef.  Needless to say, there has been no headway on that 
front.

I currently have an "Initilalizing..." document modal window activate 
when I'm initializing the CGPDFDocumentRef so it's not too bad, it 
would just be nice to avoid this behavior completely.

I realize that perhaps this question might be better suited for quartz-
dev, thank you for your insight!
