And latex has been doing pdf since before the begining of time. Indeed unix software in general prints to ps, and pdf is automatically an option with things like ps2pdf. MacOSX is a relatively late comer to this party.

In fact, Mac OS X is a newcomer to all parties; its antecessor NeXT had Display Postscript at its graphics core, so I guess exporting to PDF must have been easy (I haven't used it myself though).
