It's nice when software (like CUPS) makes these kinds of things easy.
See sample pdf backend script:
ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/printing/pdfdistiller ... different purpose
of course, but a good demonstration of how little is required of a
backend. Additional environment variables are documented in man 1
backend, depending on how robust/complicated you want to get.
Good luck,
