Sorry I wasn't clear. I meant the bookmarks in the document outline view,
and not general within-document or web links.

If you open the result (from below) in Acrobat, the outline of bookmark
appears and you can go to the page by clicking on a section. In Preview
(from 10.3), the bookmarks appear, but aren't clickable. Other PDFs (like
<http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Printing/Conceptual/
PDF_Workflow/PDF_Workflow.pdf>) show the bookmarks, and make them
clickable as well.
