Is it possible to get access to "internal" links in PDF documents using CGPDFDocument, or other means? I'm building a simple reader app and would like to deliver my content in PDF form, but if I can't support links between pages in the doc this probably isn't going to work.

This question is similar, but does not address the issue of how to support hyperlinks.

See my answer here. Basically, you'll need to get familiar with PDF link annotations.
