You will always get this warning with a "placed PDF". This illustrates
that not all messages that you get from Preflight Verifier are not going
to prevent exporting to PDF.
While you can change settings not to get this warning, I think it's best
to leave it to remind yourself that this is going to be a rasterized
PDF, so that you can pay attention to DPI export settings and check the
resolution of that image frame in the PDF to make sure it is adequate
for your needs.
