Description
If a dotted circle character appears in the output PDF, it indicates the presence of dirty data, or broken output data. It would be extremely useful to alert the user to such problems, preferably by scanning the PDF for the glyph “◌” (U+25CC) and reporting which pages it occurs on. I would expect this to be an option on the Finishing tab, or possibly on the Advanced tab, which would be OFF by default, but when turned on would produce a status bar warning message, or even an error dialog.
