Probably not exactly what you are looking for but you may want to
check the language that pdfcreator is written in.  Redmon allows you
to redirect anything that is printable to a file and have work done on
that file.

redmon (printer redirection monitor)
ghostscript
pdfCreator at sf.net

all of the above are opensource of course.
