My vote would be to leave the point-and-click as the default and put a
mention of how to publish a PDF in the Learning Manual, with any
necessary warnings. In Frescobaldi, I use this feature all the time
and there is an easy way to publish PDFs without point-and-click. I
didn't know about the absolute path names in the metadata, but that
makes sense. Thanks for pointing that out.
