One of the options in Paperless-NG is to always rasterize and OCR the PDFs because font obfuscation is already a thing in PDF land. I'm not sure why my gas bill needs to be obfuscated but here we are.

You could argue that it's legal malpractice to not do this for contracts 100% of the time.

My auto insurance card displays differently on-screen and via a HP laser printer. The printer fails to print the lines that make the "form" look readable. I think you can construct a PDF that two parties, using different software, will perceive differently.
