If after upgrading from Safari 5.0.5 to 5.0.6 in (Snow) Leopard are you stuck with no live HTML links when printing with OS X internal PDF engine?
You can downgrade to 5.0.5 using Pacifist (you can search for it easily) and then use the following links to direct downloads of Safari's previous versions.
I tested this in 10.5, hence the title of the hint.
Open the package with Pacifist, select 'Contents of…' file, click install, give your admin password and confirm overriding the previous version. Reboot your Mac.
AFAIK the link issue is a problem with the changed Webkit.framework.
Post in the comments how this works for you, be your OS version Leopard, Snow Leopard or Lion. Since I'll upgrade from Leopard to Lion in a few weeks I'd like to know how it handles HTML links in PDFs.
[crarko adds: I haven't tested this one. The links are still good and point to what they say. Pacifist is a tool for extracting and installing files from within packages, and has been mentioned here frequently before.]
