The reasoning behind this verdict

Analyst conclusion

None of the 63 antivirus engines that checked it flagged this PDF document, including all 18 major antivirus engines that analysed it. Our own static analysis could not inspect it because of its size, and it was not run in a sandbox, but nothing in the evidence points to malicious content.

Where this verdict could be wrong2 caveats
  • Our own static analysis could not inspect this large PDF, so embedded actions or links were not checked by us.
  • The file has been submitted by a single source and was first seen on Oct 21, 2026, so it has little reputation history.

These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.

Questions & answers

Short answers to the 6 questions people ask most about this file.

Is this PDF document safe?
We found nothing harmful in this PDF document. None of the 63 antivirus engines that checked it flag it. Open it only if you trust the person or website it came from.
What is this PDF document?
This PDF document is about 95.9 MB. Its original file name is hidden on this page for privacy, so we identify it by its SHA-256 fingerprint. VirusTotal first saw it on Oct 21, 2026.
How many antivirus engines detected this PDF document?
None of the 63 antivirus engines that checked it flag this PDF document. That is a good sign, but not proof, so we also weigh who made it, how widely it is used and what it did in a test run.
What is the SHA-256 hash of this PDF document?
The SHA-256 fingerprint of this PDF document is 04a062ed12646219e35cbca12282d2301ee728079bc345e470c545fa94fb1d48, and its MD5 is 10bde08953dfda61c27a0a74257e8fb0. Two files with the same SHA-256 are identical, so use it to check you have exactly this file, not just one with the same name.
Is it safe to open this PDF document?
We found nothing harmful in this PDF document. The main caveat is where you got it: attackers sometimes spread malware under the name of real software, so get it from the official website. If your own antivirus warns about it, check the source before you ignore the warning.
How up to date is this analysis of this PDF document?
This report reflects the scan on Oct 21, 2026. A file's fingerprint never changes, but antivirus engines keep learning, so a rating can change later. To get a newer result, scan the file again: we refresh the antivirus results when the saved ones are out of date.

This report and its SHA-256 fingerprint are public, so the next person who checks the same file gets an instant answer; documents and images are listed by type instead of their file name. A file we had not seen before is uploaded to VirusTotal, whose security partners and subscribers can download it; MalwareTips deletes its own copy after the scan.
