What did surprise me is that hyperlinks are not active
in the online version; one has to copy them and paste
them into a browser, which is somewhat
counter-intuitive.

No, tried and no result whatsoever. I use Adobe Acrobat Pro V7.1,
and I regularly use it to follow hyperlinks in PDF (e.g., those from
the image captions in
<a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="http://rhul.ac.uk/Hellenic-Institute/Research/LPL/Greek-MSS/Catalogue.pdf">"http://rhul.ac.uk/Hellenic-Institute/Research/LPL/Greek-MSS/Catalogue.pdf"</a>)
but for <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/pdfx/pdfx.pdf">"http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/pdfx/pdfx.pdf"</a>
I saw no effect whatsoever -- the text was of a different colour,
but completely inactive. However, I now see that I had previously
been using Acrobat to edit an advertisement, and the currently
selected tool was the text touch-up tool rather than the select
tool, which does indeed explain the apparent dysfunctionality of the
hyperlinks. I am happy to confirm that (a representative sample of)
the hyperlinks in
<a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/pdfx/pdfx.pdf">"http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/pdfx/pdfx.pdf"</a> do
indeed work as expected.I have only TeX Live 2014 (I always lag one
or two releases) but "TeXdoc pdfx" displays the expected document so
I may well have them; I will check tomorrow.<br class="">

Sounds good.</div>

<div class="">Check that it is for v.1.5.8 with 81 pages incl.
source listing in pdfx.pdf .</div>

<div>The one for v.1.5.6 looks similar at the front, but the

Mine is even earlier (only 9 pp); I shall have to install a more
recent version.<br>

<div>BTW, if you are going to work with PDFs into the future,</div>
<div>invest in the latest Acrobat Pro DC. </div>
<div>I don’t know how much it costs for non-academic in the
UK,</div>
<div>but it’ll be the best 100–200 pounds you have ever spent,</div>
<div>in terms of the time that it will save you.</div>

I still have full academic status (Honorary Research Assistant) so
could get it at an academic price, but as I wrote previously I
unfortunately have no budget for such things -- all work that I have
done since taking early retirement eight years ago has been strictly
/pro bono/. I also find ('though I may be wrong in the case of
Adobe Acrobat) that modern versions of packages with which I am
familiar in an older guise tend to have very non-ergonomic and
cryptic user interfaces as (e.g.,) text labels are phased out in
favour of cryptic icons and/or tiles. Looking at Adobe Reader DC,
for example, it looks as if it is intended for use only on a tablet
or similar -- the "Tools" menu uses huge tiles and falls off the
bottom of my (reasonably large) screen. Support for modern devices
may be commendable, but not when it is at the expense of support for
the traditional keyboard and monitor setup.<br>
