[docs] What does "embedded content" include in the Sanitize Document Options dialog?

Post by Jensen Head »

Your help system only provides an outdated screenshot and no explanation.

I'm guessing it's one or all of the following:
  1. Attachment
  2. Embedded page thumbnails
  3. Embedded print settings
Environment
PDF-XChange Editor 10.7.6, build 404 (Enhanced OCR) (Nov 20 2025; 21:35)
Microsoft Windows 10.0.26200.7462

Hello, Jensen Head

Might I ask what screenshot on that page is outdated? From what I can tell they appear to be identical to the current dialogues we offer. Are you perhaps on an older build and seeing different from what the manual details?

As for what exactly "embedded content" includes, that should refer to attachments, and embedded thumbnails as both can contain sensitive information.
Embedded Print settings should not include any "sensitive information" and so should not be part of this removal so far as I am aware.

Kind regards,
