Yes, I tried also another example file you have on your site 
"pdfclock.pdf", which works fine like "calculat.pdf", both with Acrobat 
Reader 5.0.5 and Acrobat Reader 5.1 for Mac OS X.

Thanks, Hans. I tried "calcmath.pdf" as well but when pushing the 
button "Go Ahead" I got the message "You need to be running inside a 
web browser in order to submit this form" with Acrobat Reader 5.0.5 
(and with Acrobat 4.0 which works under the "Classic" or Mac OS 9 
environment). The same experience with Acrobat Reader 5.1 produces the 
message "Form submission is not allowed in this document".

Regarding native PDF support under Mac OS X, actually what is supported 
(as far as I have experienced) is that one can "print" into a PDF file. 
But when the document itself has hyperlinks (such as
http://www.pragma-ade.nl for instance) in the resulting pdf file the 
link is NOT active.

Cheers: OK
