I have attached 2 files that demonstrate what I am trying to do. 

A user creates a MS document and "blacks out" the text (hiddentext.doc). 
The user then exports the document to PDF (hiddentext.pdf).
Curious user #2 opens the PDF, uses the select tool, grabs the hidden text and copies it into a new document in order to view it.

Is is possible to use iText in order to determine if the text is hidden.  I am sure that it is possible to get the text regardless.

Thank you.
