Started LO and a tool tip was displayed about editable PDFs.
Clicked on link in tool tip and taken to FAQ for Writer in a Chrome browser window (https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Faq/Writer/PDF_Hybrid)

In section "To Create an Hybrid PDF" there are 2 links at the bottom:

The Video link to a Minkcast in youtube is working
The Article link "The Magic of Editable PFDs" displays a Computerworld page not found screen (https://www.computerworlduk.com/it-business/the-magic-of-editable-pdfs-3569714/). The article seems to have been moved or deleted. 

See attached file of screen shots.

Confirmed. The 'http://blogs.computerworlduk.com/simon-says/2012/03/the-magic-of-editable-pdfs/index.htm' linked article is no longer functional.

@Simon, notice many of your "Simon-says" blogs formerly hosted by Computerworld UK have been taken down. Did you retain copyright, I hope, and are you able to upload replacement for use on Wiki? Or should we just drop the URL?

They relocated all those articles a while back without adding a redirect. They now appear to have hidden the relocated articles too. It's on archive.org at https://web.archive.org/web/20120329191738/http://blogs.computerworlduk.com/simon-says/2012/03/the-magic-of-editable-pdfs/index.htm
