fun with Adobe Acrobat - Balco
« 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 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.
