------- Additional comments from rhan...@openoffice.org Tue Aug 31 00:29:30 +0000 2010 ------- I have used Open Office Writer to create a manuscript for an e-book. It contains hyperlinks to external URLs and also internally to different locations in the document. The publisher (Lulu) requires that fonts are embedded and I have used the Export to PDF function using the PDF/A-1a function to embed fonts (required). When I open the PDF in Adobe Reader 9, the hyperlinks are disabled but they work OK in Adobe Reader 8. Adobe have indicated that Adobe Reader 9 does not support the PDF/A-1a and confirmed that today with this note: "As per the PDF/A standard, a "conforming reader" SHOULD disable hyperlinks in a PDF/A conforming file. Since Adobe Reader 9 is a conforming PDF/A reader, it therefore follows that recommendation from the standard. Leonard Rosenthol Project Leader, ISO 19005 (PDF/A)" I expect that this will have significance to Open Office users who rely of the PDF/A-1a function to create PDFs hwich might be opened with Adobe Reader 9 as people upgrade to version 9. I also image that Adobe Reader is the most common PDF reader used by consumers of e-books and other PDF documents. Is there anything the Open Office network can do about this.
