You can use LPR Driver and set up your Mac or your Linux box to spool
the resulting PostScript. You can then convert it to PDF using ps2pdf.
This worked for me:

You'll need LPR Driver 1.0:

The sketches you do books are stored in a soup, not in the books
themselves (since the books are read only and the sketches remain
even if you delete the books).
