Does anyone have a recommended way to validate PDF files which are being uploaded? I only plan on uploading PDFs through the admin but wanted to know a more robust way than simply checking the extension. file_reference = models.FileField(upload_to='xxdirnamexx', blank=True, validator_list = [filenameEndsWith(choices=FILETYPES_FOR_UPLOAD),]) I have ReportLab installed but have only used it for creating PDFs--not opening existing ones. Would it be worth checking the file itself? For example, checking for "%PDF-1" as the first characters?
