Just to up the anti, what do I need to do to save the annotations to a proper PDF, (ie keeping all its text, link properties etc). I tried to save off the page's data representation but no matter what I do it never contains any annotations! Again, I need to accomplish this without opening the PDF up in a PDFView.

Okay, I'll ante up. :-)

PDFDocument has methods for saving PDF's – since Leopard, annotations are preserved as annotations.

PDFPage has methods for adding, removing annotations.

The PDFAnnotation classes ave initializers so that annotations can be created.

PDFView is really just a view. While it has a lot of convenience methods to aid in PDF viewing, the real functionailty of PDF Kit is in the other classes.
