Do you mean that you by saving a NisusWriter Pro document with inserted 
active links as a PDF file with NWP, and then open the now new PDF file 
in Preview will preserve the links active without you having to re-enter 
the links using the Preview tools?

I don't know whether there are anything different in Preview coming with 
10.6, but NisusWriter does not use that PDF engine but the older one 
from the Preview 2.x/3.x (the system built-in engine). So you will not 
be able to 'Save as PDF' from within NWP and preserve any active links 
in the finished PDF document.

It would have been better, if Nisus had chosen to use the full Adobe PDF 
engine instead - like for example Mariner Software does with their 
MarinerWrite.

I have asked the same question in our local Mac usergroup and everyone 
has answered the same. - It isnot possible to preserve any links when 
saving from any textprocessor that uses the built-in PDF engine from any 
Mac OS X version.

You can always preserve links if you use Acrobat Pro...
