Hi Kevin,
Thanks for the response. I'm in the spam filtering business and I'm
wondering what I can use (from the command line?) to detect if a PDF has
any kind of script attached that would be executable. that way I might
block based on what's embedded in a PDF.

Not sure about viruses per se, but I know that there have been instances of
embedded javascript in .pdf files which have been malicious.
Javascript can be turned off in Acrobat preferences. Likely a toggle in other
.pdf readers as well.

Subject: PDF files containing executables?
A customer of mine inquired about executable viruses inside of PDF files. Is
that so? And if it is - is there any way of detecting executables inside of PDF?
