One of my clients dealing with politically sensitive information using MS 
Office 2000, 2002 primarily with a couple users running 2003. Desktop 
operating systems are Win2k and XP Pro. 

One of the features staff like to use is the "insert comment" function as 
they work on revisions of documents.  This got me thinking about document 
meta data/document sercurity and information leakage as per this article

Just wondering how y'all allow the colloborative features internally, but 
stop the meta data from leaving the office? I want to make it easy for the 
users, AND allow them to safely converse with the outside world.

We've recently started using PDFCreator on all the workstations for 
outputting documents, I was thinking pdf's were a more secure way of 
distributing the information, but then I remembered that big court case with 
Adobe against the Russian fellow who designed software that got around the 
encryption and security in pdf documents...

So... suggestions?
