The reasoning behind this verdict

Analyst conclusion

All 61 reporting engines returned clean results with no major or less reliable malicious labels. The file is a PDF with no sandbox data, no files it created, and no YARA or CIRCL hits.

Where this verdict could be wrong1 caveat
  • Low submission volume (rare but long known) leaves open the theoretical possibility of an undetected malicious PDF, though no engine or external signal supports that scenario.

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 61 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 7.3 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 Feb 6, 2021.
How many antivirus engines detected this PDF document?
None of the 61 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 59b1f4fd2fc373fe7d79980cb73ca2658a46aaecece532e00361f09b9bfce466, and its MD5 is a8c02f3860ad7e715b9691c6f12b890c. 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 10, 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 To get a newer result, scan the file again: we refresh the antivirus results when the saved ones are out of date.
