Didn't this happen with some classified documents released in PDF?
Electronic files are never good for secrets IMO.

AT&T's attorneys this week filed a 25-page legal brief striped with
thick black lines that were intended to obscure portions of three
pages and render them unreadable.

But the obscured text nevertheless can be copied and pasted inside
some PDF readers, including Preview under Apple Computer's OS X and
the xpdf utility used with X11.

End Snip.
