How to turn a Bluetooth device into 'digital paper'
Okay, I've got an Intel version of this working - but its Intel only (sorry, I'm not good with Xcode, I'm lucky I got this far).
Anyways, it's available here: http://geekmuse.googlepages.com/BlueActionMove.action.zip Extract this, then run Automator and then go to File -> Import Actions and select the BlueActionMove.action filen that you just extracted. The new action should show up in the "Finder" section (you should see the Bluetooth icon in there). I created just a simple Finder plug-in that lets me right-click on files and select "Send to Phone" - which then sends the file to my cell phone. Pretty slick. For me, though, this hint has problems with my phone. My phone will only receive the first page before it complains - the first image is too big for it to display so it freaks. I think I can still get it to work if I tweak the PDF->Image settings, though. ---

Wouldn't it be easier to keep the output as a PDF file (multi-pages or not)? Does the iPhone ave a PDF reader?

Sadly the iPhone does not yet support Object Push, so this hint doesn't work for it. And if it did, I'd guess that you'd need to push an image file, as the iPhone only displays PDFs in the context of email attachments and web page downloads.

I agree - I would rather just store/save a PDF file.

Note that you can easily modify this hint to push a PDF file - simply don't convert the file to an image first.

Try setting a custom paper size to print to - I think that PDF Services always prints at the same ppi (pixels per inch), so by reducing the paper size, you're reducing the number of overall pixels, and thus the resultant image size... I think. To do this go to the Page Setup... menu item in the File menu of an application such as Safari, then in the Paper Size drop down menu go to the bottom and pick Manage Custom Sizes...

I just compiled "Bluetooth Object Push" written by Marc Schlichte on Snow Leopard and it works great at least with my Nokia N95.
