RE: Millions of PDF invisibly embedded with your internal disk paths

Meh.   I replied to something similar off-list.

"Leaking" a pdf with 'e:\nethome\joe_kitten_lover' doesn't remotely "prove"
anything.  If I create a user called MayIMommaDogFaceToTheBannanPatch and
"leaked" a pdf, it doesn't mean Steve Martin was culpable.  This is a
non-issue, no matter how much you might want to create some fanciful "bonsai
kitten" theory to get Joe in trouble, dawg.

Nor do IP addresses prove anything, still people use them.

It is good enough reason to search his computer. If the poor user does
not know paths are embedded, he's likely to get himself into

Oddly, or not, that doyen of security sensibility, Microsoft, disagrees
with you.
