Then I’ll need to test this in org 9.

Does it at least move footnote [fn:1] out from the Footnotes section?
If not, then the call org-footnote-action does not actually work.

I’m sure that this works, because I’m creating a PDF via ox-latex using those footnotes.

Here’s the source with a full autotools setup: https://bitbucket.org/ArneBab/1w6/src/default/Hauptdokument/ews30/

Main file: https://bitbucket.org/ArneBab/1w6/src/cd0a985945e46389d2690b759869706df572e65f/Hauptdokument/ews30/ews.org

You can test this with the latest release: https://www.1w6.org/releases/ews30eb1.tar.gz

Build it with


    ./configure; make distcheck


I hope that org 9 does not break this.

Best wishes,
