The reasoning behind this verdict

Analyst conclusion

None of the 63 antivirus engines that checked it flagged this PDF document, including every major antivirus engine. When opened in the sandbox it only launched Adobe Acrobat and its normal helper processes, with no injection into other programs and no network activity of its own.

Where this verdict could be wrong1 caveat
  • The document has been submitted by only one source, so there is little community history, and our own static analysis of its contents was not available.

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 16.8 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 Jul 6, 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 0b341bc8825edec8a5b112405c9911de1dfa26f82d767993e67c41a8d5a215d0, and its MD5 is 235d74e6bb719b8e864bc661d382304a. 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 Jul 8, 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 To get a newer result, scan the file again: we refresh the antivirus results when the saved ones are out of date.
