Once upon a time I wrote an automated newspaper layout/preview system in Cocoa, the rendering engine in MacOS.
It was the only thing I could find that could do high quality text (ligatures, OpenType fonts, etc.), had native CMYK support, and could produce a print ready PDF or JPEG preview in milliseconds.
I can’t open source the code, but if anyone ever needs to embark on something similar I’d be happy to share what I learnt.
