save as PDF - absolute beginner :)

Hello guys I´m just playing with processing for the first day and i can´t figure out how to combine the pointillize code with the pdf code to save my artwork as a pdf.

maybe you can tell me what´s wrong Smiley
thanx a lot!!!

import processing.pdf.*;

PImage a;

void setup()

{
 a = loadImage("ceausescu_31.jpg");
 size(500,500);
 noStroke();
 background(255);
 smooth();
}

void draw()
{
 float pointillize = map(mouseX, 0, width, 2, 38);
 int x = int(random(a.width));
 int y = int(random(a.height));
 color pix = a.get(x, y);
 fill(pix, 126);
 ellipse(x, y, pointillize, pointillize);
}

void mousePressed() {
 beginRecord(PDF, "Lines.pdf");
 background(255);
}

void mouseReleased() {
 endRecord();
 background(255);
}

this works for me? what do you mean is the problem? if the problem is that the pdf just turns out white, you need to remove the background(255) from mousePressed and mouseReleased.
