How can I go directly to OSX Preview.app bypassing the intermediate

I was trying to draw to a canvas on a window and call "Preview" but

In a nutshell, you can't in REALbasic by itself. You can, however,
create your own preview window using the data you would be sending to
the printer. You could also write a plug-in (or maybe declares) that
would alter the OSX built-in print routine that Rb calls. I think
that's a bit beyond both you and me though. ;-)
Even Adobe Reader throws a message box in it's Preview button. I never
could figure out why as it appears to be a custom window. I guess it's
to satisfy people who are used to clicking on a button to show the
preview in "Preview.app".
HTH,
