Embedding is not the default. For LibreOffice, you have to check the box "Hybrid PDF". Whether or not that should be the first listing in the sequence is a slightly different issue. FWIW, my order of preference would be: * Archive PDF * Tagged PDF; * Create PDF; * Hybrid PDF; > I will add, I've never actually used the feature This is one example of why the developers want use-cases, before implementing a requested feature.

">Tools >Options >Security >Security Options and Warnings >Security Warnings" I don't know if it would catch the type of error made by the Hospital Trust. A straight export to PDF would have negated that potential vulnerability. Rephrasing, the issue was providing the data as a spreadsheet. OTOH, another government regulation requires the data to be provided in "an open, user-editable file format." Fortunately, CSV is an acceptable substitute for a spreadsheet. jonathon _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
