My ultimate goal is an application that is like a printer's PDF workflow, that will allow page manipulations like resizing / cropping / adding bleed information, and imposing multiple pages onto one with crop marks and the like. After researching it seems like some of the functions (imposition with crop marks, page cropping/scaling with/without preserving aspects, etc) are best suited for quartz, while the rest (page reordering/inserting, rotating, etc) have Cocoa APIs.
Well, FWIW, Apple's Preview is cropping in PDF Kit ... basically you call -[setBoundsForBox:] on the PDFPage in question.
Additionally you should probably look into subclassing PDFPage. Within that domain you can overlay crop marks, apply additional transforms, etc.
See PDFCalendar sample code for a PDFPage subclassing example.
