I should also mention that I have control over the content of the html pages that I am converting (basically a manual for my app, with a table of contents - I want to convert to pdf with the toc entries hyperlinking to the proper area in the pdf format). I don't know a lot about pdf format, but am thinking that I could maybe alter the html to make the job simpler (eg use of hidden text, wrapping some key pdf words in html comment, etc).

Does anyone know if cocoa can convert html to pdf, and preserve the links?

The only way I can think of doing this, and it's sort of ugly, is to make up the PDF file as you do at the moment and then load it back into an PDFDocument using PKDKit. Then you can extract the text, match up the text against your NSAttributedString, locate the link attributes and then attach PDFAnnotationLink objects to the matching texts. You can then save it back out with the link annotations. It's yucky, but it might work...
