I have just done the latest issue of my Publication and this is what I 
fine......

1) [Just a comment] HotLinks do _NOT_ work in the .sla file - rather a 
pitty!!
2) In the "Scribus pdf" file the HoLlinks work with both my PDF Reader 
programs (Adobe & Ocular)
3) After converting through 'pdftops & ps2pdf' the HotLinks no longer 
work in either Reader!!

This may suggest that it is a pdftops or ps2pdf problem _BUT_ it used to 
work in the Scribus 1.3 series!!! I still have copies here from that 
time that still work fine!! So to my mind something has been changed, 
(or omitted), in Scribus version 1.4 that stops the links from 'getting 
through' to the end pdf file.

Any comments or suggestions??
