Many organizations have a PDF security policy in place, but it relies on the end user to self-enforce it. The PDF format was not created as a security standard and it has lulled many users into thinking a published PDF is secure. Creating a PDF is so easy we often fail to think about the ramifications of actions like blacklining content. The PDF blackline has become an easy solution to hiding text by covering it with a black graphic. Unfortunately when you blackline a PDF in this manner, the content still exists behind the graphic covering the text. This content can easily be viewed by cutting/pasting the PDF file into another file format. Recent PDF Information Leaks

Education and policy are important elements of any security program, but counting on users to take the time and effort to manage risk inherent in the tools they use is just not realistic. If your organization uses Adobe Acrobat to convert Office documents into PDFs for security reasons you may not be using the best product. Often the money spent on Adobe can purchase a solution that not only creates PDFs, but controls and secures the production, verification, and review of Office documents throughout their lifecycle.
