The only thing missing in LilyPond’s PDF files is the XMP metadata mark of
PDF/A-1(b). Every other requirement is fulfilled, as soon as you disable links.
#(ly:set-option (quote no-point-and-click))
The reasons they give against „regular“ PDFs are not valid, at least for
LilyPond’s PDFs - I guess they experienced some really bad data (maybe scanned
scores in PDFs, but even that wouldn’t require printing and re-scanning).
Probably they just don’t know what they’re talking about - I had similar
nonsensical requirements from several printshops.
