No, it still doesn't work (either through pdflatex or dvips + ps2pdf or dvips + distiller).
If I follow your instructions literally, using pdflatex, opening in Acrobat and saving as PDF/A, Acrobat complains and tells me to use preflight first. I do so, but this time (from the pdflatex generated file) I get a different error: "XMP property neither predefine nor defined in extension schema". Could it be a problem with this version of Acrobat, maybe? (I'm using Acrobat 9 Pro on Vista + MiKTeK 2.6) PS: I'm not sure how the hyperref package could help, as the document doesn't have any hyperrefs; even the minimal file I posted earlier fails...
