PDF embedding attacks have been a thing for years.

Personally I think that the culture of sending everything as a Word or Excel attachment has a lot to do with the dominance of MS office but if you can't avoid Office-like applications the other options are even worse.

PDF is still less worse than Office documents especially if you avoid Adbobe Acrobat Reader
