The reasoning behind this verdict

Analyst conclusion

None of the 63 antivirus engines that checked it flagged the PDF, including all 17 reporting major antivirus engines, and no external threat-intelligence matches were found. The file is and lacks sandbox coverage, so ordinary caution remains appropriate when opening an unsolicited document.

Where this verdict could be wrong2 caveats
  • The PDF is and has only one submission, so its broader reputation is not yet established.
  • No completed sandbox observation or complete contacted-host reputation check is available, leaving behavior in the test run unverified.

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 176.0 kB. 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 12, 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 4243e4cc8f377b4d42979050ff51f254db7ec21f4092d58e569fcd1a027901c2, and its MD5 is dc714919a6395d068d0ec9b2471b28e7. 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 12, 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 To get a newer result, scan the file again: we refresh the antivirus results when the saved ones are out of date.
