If they buried the whole thing in the PDF file then there is no raw
message text. And never mind that this violates all the mail handling
standards and never mind the ADA.

Anywho, it's entirely possible that there is no text at all, and the
PDF is bitmap image(s). A simple PDF viewer like Sumatra, which doesn't
have a JavaScript interpreter, should make this apparent, or that it's
all embedded JavaScript.
