Recently, there has been alot of hype involving backdooring various
web technologies. pdp (arcitect) has done alot of work centered around

investigate this a little further.

This article discusses two possible backdoor techniques for Adobe
Acrabat Reader and Professional. It includes proof of concept code and
backdoored PDF documents.
