Description
#832 reminds me:
At present users can exclude images tagged as only for web or app distribution (non-print media), but there are or have been licensing agreements where web-based distribution is prohibited, but physical copies is acceptable. Presumably these images would be flagged loc="p". However, at present, when creating a PDF that is intended to go up on a web-page, there is no option to remove such images.
It seems to me that rather than 'Omit pictures only meant for web or app', we should probably have something like: 'Which pictures to use:' and a select-box that gives the options 'All images', 'Only images for Print'. 'Only images for Web', 'Only allowing both Print and Web' and a (default selected) checkbox that says 'Also allow unclassified images' (or the logic could be inverted 'exclude unclassified images')

Research direction
Read issue #832 and locate the current “Omit pictures only meant for web or app” option in the PDF-generation flow. Determine how image location flags such as loc="p" are currently handled and how the proposed choices should map to them. Done means web-distributed PDFs can exclude print-only images while preserving the treatment of web-only and unclassified images.
