Our website does some basic obfuscation (foo at example dot org) for email addresses on web pages visible to the general public, but doesn't do so for PDF documents. Is it common for email harvesters to extract addresses from PDFs?

(In case anyone's interested, the email addresses aren't that valuable - they're an alias such as president@example.org, rather than the person's real email address)

Google does read in your PDFs, even the spammers do!
