I can confirm this bug with the poster's PDF on the final release of 3.3, also
in PDFs created on my system (XP) with, so far, *any* Type 1 font (pfb/pfm),
and with any export setting (not just PDF/A-1a).

PDFs with postscript-flavour OTFs are fine.

Notes:

1. The "cannot extract" error occurs *only* in Adobe Acrobat (in my case
version 6.0). The same PDFs open and display just fine in Foxit and
PDF-XChange. Both report correctly embedded fonts, and both will still display
correctly when the fonts are not installed on the system.

2. PDFs created from within OOo but using a 3rd party PDF printer, in my case
PDFCreator, open without problems in Acrobat.

3. Looking at a readable .ps conversion of the .pdf (pdftops.exe from xpdf
3.01), I see that although the font outlines are correctly embedded, the
encoding table that follows is completely screwed in the OOo 3.3-generated
version, with most glyphs named /.notdef (and hence the dots).


Strangely, if I regenerate the pdf using that .ps file (for which PDFCreator
obliges), the resulting pdf opens without trouble in Acrobat, with the fonts
correctly embedded.

In brief, OOo is screwing up the encoding of type 1 fonts but somehow readers
other than Acrobat are managing to work around the problem, or never actually
use the embedded font's encoding. Definite regression, as it obviously worked
before, and I'd say a priority given that the actual PDF, albeit readable in
some/most PDF readers, is mis-encoded and therefore corrupt.
