UV photometric observations of 39 planetary nebulae performed with the Astronomical Netherlands Satellite have been searched for variability of the central stars. No photometric variations of more than about 15% are found, but detectable variations are observed in the nuclei of five objects: IC 418, NGC 6543, A78, He2-131, and V-V 1-7. The results indicate that: (1) the only definite variations occurred in emission-line central stars with Of characteristics; (2) the variations in A78, NGC 6543, and He2-131 may be entirely spectroscopic in origin; (3) the variations in IC 418 appear to be both spectroscopic and photometric; and (4) V-V 1-7 is probably not a planetary nebula.
