[QUOTE="CyberDevil, post: 1110709, member: 91290"] I'll add two additional scanners for you: [LIST] [*][URL='https://www.malware.ai']Malware.AI | Malware Detection Using Artificial Intelligence[/URL] - this scanner converts the PDF (and other docs) into an image, which is then analyzed by AI, which is trained to find malicious payloads in these images.

[/LIST] --- In general, if you just want to view a document and you are concerned about your security, then open it using a sandboxed viewer (Windows sandbox or Sandboxie). It is perfectly safe.
