Hi :) Do you know if it isn't? I think it's a good idea to check the integrity of Pdfs that are output. often we focus tooo much (imo) on the integrity of MS formats which will always look different on every machine. People seem to be using Pdfs quite a lot more now and it would be nice to know that ones we create work properly, or at least consistently.
If specific potential problems can be pinned down then i think we are in a better position to have more confidence in our outputs. Bear in mind that Pdf output is significantly better in LibreOffice than in MSO. LO offers far more options and some of those improve accessibility (specifically better for screen-readers) and for uncompressed or more compressed output. MSO offers freedom FROM choice.
