It's not unheard of to hide private files in common file locations that would be relatively unheard of to look. I mean, who would look for private information hidden as a random dll file in the system32 directory, or a jar file in java distribution? So, sticking a obscure pdf file in a directory that almost no one would have cause to access directly would be perfect for storing something that someone wants to keep safe for posterity. It is possible that this is not the only hidden copy. It's possible that someone with access to Apple's development or push copy of the given folder originally hid it there for safekeeping and forgot about it. It would have to be someone with access to the consistent folder copy stored and pushed to all oem builds.
