Sensitive information in PDF not blacked out in Yahoo Mail Attachments Preview
I had to send some PDF files that contained private financial information that I did not want the recipient to see. I blacked out all the information and saved the files under new names. I attached the blacked out files to the email which I sent.
I see now if I look at that sent email's attachments in "Preview" all the blacked out information is visible. But if download the files and open with Adobe Acrobat the information is blacked out. What gives?!?
I can only hope that the recipient's email software doesn't allow them to preview the attachments.
