for rendering PDF or any other output you can use the widgets
in dosplay mode. This offers the right value conversion between
your object and the output. 

if you take a look at z3c.rml and z3c.pdftemplate, you can see
the you can use a zpt template like concept for write PDF's.

ProbablyI don't understand it right. But if you ask why the
form module method called applyChanges is a hook the the answer
is:

This method can be used if you need them. This means if you 
write a custom action handler you can do something and 
later you can use the form.applyChanges method if needed.

By default the Editform does this, e.g. the form method
applyChanges uses the hook method applyChanges.
