Ah, yes I see what you mean. Especially if the PDF opens maximized so the user does not even see the error at first. Perhaps he/she immediately sends the PDF off to the publisher before even realizing. > Could we do it like this: Add a button to the error dialog "Show Output > anyway" and only display the PDF is this is pressed?
