Probably not.

I'd prefer something such as "Enable Hypertext Features and Metadata" and "Customize Hypertext Features and Metadata". We can mention the hyperref package in the tooltip. Also note that these features are not only "PDF Properties". Hyperref supports a wide range of other output formats (via its drivers, e.g. to HTML and PS). Jürgen > > Scott >
