This isn't true. Yes, OS X can use swatch lists, and yes, the basic Pantone colour list is available in the correct format (though it's not included by default). But Spot Picker allows you to embed genuine spot colours in pdf output from many cocoa apps. For example, you can use Pantone metallics in omnigraffle, then either export to pdf and send it to a print shop, or drag to InDesign and do a colour separation: the colours will work correctly.

I too (using Tiger) have been unable to locate this mythical Pantone swatch library that you are referring to. I would love to know where it is.

I speak as a 23 year veteran of the printing industry.
