There is a recurring problem with PDF files produced by either pdftex or luatex in France. Whenever PhD thesis documents are submitted to the French national archives, they have to be validated by some automated process which relies on pdftk (apparently). And files compiled by pdftex/luatex are rejected.
The validation service is at http://facile.cines.fr/ It seems they want PDF/A-1b, since the failure icon links to http://facile.cines.fr/aide/pdf.jsf But the table seems to allow normal PDF 1.5... Best Martin
