I'm not sure I'm reading the documentation correctly, however. Here's the code I'm trying to use:

NSString* theURLName = [NSString stringWithFormat: NSLocalizedString(@FW_URL_PREFIX ,nil), theDocumentName];

        theFW_URL = [NSURL URLWithString:theURLString];

//Create an NSAttributedString to hold the RTF description of the URL.
theRTF_string= [[NSAttributedString alloc] initWithString: theURLName];
theStringRange.location = 0;
theStringRange.length = [theURLName length];
theAttributesDict =
[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjects:[NSArray arrayWithObjects: theFW_URL, nil]
forKeys: [NSArray arrayWithObjects:NSLinkAttributeName, nil]
];
NSData* the_RTF_data = [theRTF_string RTFFromRange: theStringRange documentAttributes:theAttributesDict];

No, that's not right. The attributes need to be set in the attributed string. The document attributes are something else entirely (more specifically, they contain information about the *document*, not text attributes which is what NSLinkAttributeName is). You probably want to do -initWithString:attributes: rather than just -initWithString:, then pass nil for the documentAttributes: argument.


Also, consider using -dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys: or - dictionaryWithObject:forKey: rather than - dictionaryWithObjects:forKeys:. They're more efficient and involve less typing too :-)

Kind regards,

Alastair.
