There is another method - almost too stupid to mention - by which groups
have inadvertantly disclosed information and that is the highlight tool.

Believe it or not people have used the highlight tool to blackout chunks
of text, putting a black mark over black text, and then publishing their
document as PDF. The information although hidden was not gone and could
be easily revealed. In fact I think accessibility features of Acrobat
reader can force the text colours for readability and reveal the
information.
