Yeah, I remember my first year, before I learned you need to uncheck a box to make sure the pdf can't be unflattened...

    I'm wondering if the flattened ones can still be bypassed with vector software. If the pdf's don't have security: open with illustrator or inkscape, delete black shapes, font get left behind as outlines, resave as pdf, OCR with acrobat. Hey presto... Searchable documents again.
