, the main web site form Apple for
developers, has a nice section on marketing, and offers of help.
Mactech magazine, http://mactech.com
is the main paper magazine aimed at
developers.
http://cocoablogs.com/
is a list of online magazines (blogs) for
Macintosh programmers.
You have an uphill battle. To quote from the developer web site:
"In Mac OS X it is easy for users to save a do***ent as a PDF. All the
user needs to do is open the Print dialog and click the Save As PDF
button."
http://developer.apple.com/do***entation/Printing/Conceptual/PDF_Workflow
/pdfwf_intro/chapter_1_section_1.html
So, if your library only does what you've said it does, it is completely
unneeded by OS X programmers, because all of that is already inherently
part of the built-in APIs for drawing.
Your first task: explain to developers what problem your shared library
solves, that they can't already do with the existing sup****t for
generating PDFs, built in to OS X.
For example, do you provide more ability to edit other people's PDF
do***ents than the built-in PDF Kit?
