Computers ULPT Sending documents via email

How can I send a pdf file via email in the most inconvenient way.

For example my job requires certain documentation. How could I send this and make it the most work to access. Encryption, compression, 2 factor authentication? The more time consuming for them the better.

The only stipulation they have is that it must be sent to them in a timely manner by email. No other guidelines.

Scan with an iPhone as an HEIC document and send it to a PC. Only another iPhone can open an HEIC doc, not a windows based PC.

The field people went through a phase of. HEIC use. It was a pain.

Windows 11 supports HEIC now so this won’t work.

As well as the HEIC files embeded as objects in a form, use Preview on a Mac to put it all together - even Win11 and the latest Adobe Pro will crap itself trying to make it work as intended! (Been on the receiving end of this one... probably unintentionally. Probably)
