I understand that contexts can (still) be flipped.

Let's break this down a bit, since I'm fighting two problems simultaneously 
here. First, PDF File generation.

Using the code I quoted, I generate PDF data in a flipped context. The flipped 
context matches the coordinate system that drawn objects expect. As such, 
objects and text are all positioned in the correct relative locations.

If I write the PDF data immediately to a file, no NSImage or rep involved, 
result is an upside down PDF file when it's opened in Preview.

If I generate the PDF data in a non-flipped context, the PDF File is still 
upside down, with the added problem that text glyphs are inverted individually.

So at no point have I done anything with this image like draw it anywhere. How 
can it even be possible for PDF data in a file to be inverted? The problem 
appears to be with the PDF generation, so what's wrong there?

Not sure - will try to find them. So far a search on ADC brings up just one 
result and it's in Japanese...
