If you do:

on mouseUp
   showPrintDialog false, true
   revPrintField the name of fld "TTEXT"
end mouseUp

Then you will get the print dialog and be able to use OS X's standard
print to pdf.

There are 2 ways to do this. If you have revEnterprise, you can use
the new "open printing to pdf" command which allows lots of extras
like setting author, title, keywords etc, as well as including links
and anchor to allow hyper-linking within the pdf.
If you don't have revEnterprise, or you don't need those features,
then you can set the printerOutput before printing. If you set this to
print to a file, then you will get a pdf on Mac and an XPS file on
Windows.
