The following worked for me:
$ acroread -version
9.5.5
on a GNU/Linux OS.
Go to
Edit>Preferences>Trust Manager>Change Settings...
and, on the Manage Internet Access panel, tick
* Let me specify a list of allowed and blocked we sites
(default)
* Allow access
(default: Always ask)
It looks like the default should allow to follow the hyperlinks and launch the browser but it does not for me...

Hello!
If Hyperlinks are not allowed at all in PDF/A then i wonder why Hyperlinks of "HTTP://..." are working in PDF/A documents created from Word with Adobe 9.1.3 Pro but Hyperlinks of "DDD://..". are removed from the PDF file.
Adobe implement something that seems to me to be not consistent.
I double checked your statement regarding the PDF/A standard with someone of the PDF/A commitee attendants.
The response was that removing Hyperlinks has nothing to do with the PDF/A standard.
The relevant standard chapter is:
...
6.5.3 Handling of GoToR, URI and SubmitForm Actions
While permitted to be present in a conforming file, there are three types of actions for which a conforming interactive reader shall provide special treatment – the GoToR, the URI and the SubmitForm actions. The conforming interactive reader shall provide a mechanism to display the F and D keys of a GoToR action dictionary, the URI key of a URI action dictionary, and the F key of a SubmitForm action dictionary.
In addition, since the actual invocation of these three actions by a conforming interactive readers involves the locating of and interacting with other files that may or may not be conforming, the reader may choose to not allow the actual invocation of these actions.
NOTE For purposes of archival disclosure of the complete information content of conforming files, it is important for interactive readers to provide some mechanism to expose the destination of such actions. However, this part of ISO 19005 does not prescribe any specific behaviour or the technical implementation details that interactive readers might use to meet these functional requirements.
...
I would suggest to clarify the PDF/A standard and improve your current implementation.
Best wishes,
R.Bornheim.

This solution does not work.
What happens is links do not work inside of the actual Adobe Reader 9.0. But they DO work if viewed inside of either IE or Firefox Adobe Reader plug-ins, which are COM based and essentially call the same Adobe Reader 9.0 code base. I do not understand the need for this difference in behavior. The support wanted to charge me $40 to have this addressed, and again I do not see why, since this is clearly an Adobe Reader bug.
