It's deliberately not in there as an action as it's really dangerous, and we didn't want a surge in support calls from people who have false expectations.

So many things can go wrong, subset fonts, letter spacing, word spacing, reflow etc

So we decided not to make it an Action

I can imagine..... any warning window would not help to prevent the surge
I know it does not work propertly often... pitty

It's not that I gave up, it's that it was the correct answer. ;)
