Title: fun with Adobe Acrobat - Balco
Post by: timfogarty on June 22, 2006, 12:42:30 PM

I got this from slashdot

The U.S. government released in PDF format a redacted version of their court filing (http://www.sfgate.com/c/acrobat/2006/06/22/BALCO_quash_subpoena_sfchronicle.pdf) in the Balco grand jury leak case.  But they only stuck a black line over the text in Acrobat.  The underlying text remains available in the PDF file.   From Adobe Acrobat, simply select all (CTRL-A), then copy (CTRL-C), then go to a text editor and paste (CTRL-V).  The redacted text is now visible.
