in reply to Pitermach • • •@pitermach @ondrosik PDFs are also full of such things.
Many people redact PDF content by covering it up with a black or white rectangle, forgetting that, unlike in purely visual formats, that operation does basically nothing in PDF. The content is still there, the renderer is just instructed to draw a white rectangle which occupies the same position and covers it visually.
Sometimes, you can also find sloppy employees leaving notes to other people working on the PDF, especially if the documents are only intended for print, and the electronic version is only given out in special circumstances.

in reply to Drew Mochak • • •@pitermach @ondrosik There's also the little known trick of... reading PDF image alt descriptions.
Because Adobe Acrobat puts the *full path* of the image file there.

That's one accessibility issue that I'd selfishly like to stay unfixed.
