For the second part, your pasted code contains only the CGPDFContextAddDestinationAtPoint

code where you define the anchor. This will actually not generate anything in the PDF file (it's not like HTML where the anchor is something that is present in the HTML code somewhere).

Did you also use CGPDFContextSetDestinationForRect to setup the actual link annotation? This is the one that should generate the actual PDF objects in the file...
