Hello folks,
We use a lot of pdfs at our work (and face problems associated with it too :) After a recent goof up at Google China using a pdf document, I have become extra cautious and sometimes paranoid. I was just wondering if there is any measure available to check if the pdf that you are about to open contains any malicious stuff.
To give you an example, recently I received a pdf file from a colleague. It was sent to him by someone outside work. I opened this pdf file at home computer which has my banking signature etc. This pdf file was digitally signed. There was a tiny bookmark like thing on the first page. I clicked on that link out of curiosity and it flagged as "Signed by My name". Essentially, it picked up my digital signature for the bank. I freaked out and deleted the pdf right away. My investigation on this pdf led me to a dead end.
Hence, to conclude my question, I am looking for something like antivirus program that will scan pdfs for any malicious code embedded inside them. Does such thing exist? If yes, any recommendations?
Thanks in advance.
