Apologies for being insufficiently clear. By "a file straight from NOAA" I 
meant a completely different PDF, 
<https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/sites/default/files/2022-06/woa18documentation.pdf>, 
that gives the same SHA-256 hash whether downloaded by VirusTotal 
<https://www.virustotal.com/gui/url/ebff41f79720bcd2bbccf343874a584f2b3d78f3cd390a19f11b7576c3a38ad1?nocache=1>
 or me, comes from a supposedly trusted source, and still makes Acrobat Reader 
behave like it's infected, show a crashed Firefox on the screenshot and drop a 
number of scary-looking files. Surely there will be a difference between 
reading an infected file and a non-infected file?
