Maybe a dumb question but anybody knows what's

"Save as PDF" from the print dialog? What magic

any application supporting printing, ending as a 
pdf file?

Check out the section in:

http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/releasenotes/Cocoa/AppKit.html

called:

New Support for "Save As PDFŠ" in NSDocument 
Printing (New since November 2008 Seed)

and check the source for TextEdit in /Developer/Examples on 10.6 as noted.

Also, if you're on pre-Snow Leopard or not 
Document Based, check out NSPrintSaveJob

in:

http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/documentation/Cocoa/Reference/ApplicationKit/Classes/NSPrintInfo_Class/Reference/Reference.html

and then run the print operation without showing panels.
