The reasoning behind this verdict

Analyst conclusion

All 62 antivirus engines that checked it returned clean results. Similar PDF files in our history were also rated safe. No sandbox, host, or external-intel data contradicts this.

Where this verdict could be wrong2 caveats
  • If the PDF contains an embedded exploit that none of the 62 antivirus engines that checked it detected, the clean result could be a coverage gap — but zero detections across major antivirus engines makes this unlikely.
  • rare and classification means the file has not yet been widely distributed; future submissions could change the picture.

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 62 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 210.2 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 Jul 25, 2026.
How many antivirus engines detected this PDF document?
None of the 62 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 9944d691063a4e1879beadbb4c48ebee6ad1844c828453f8516ec3009db05c96, and its MD5 is 7462ffb4c26eb240abd0dde614609a58. 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 25, 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 To get a newer result, scan the file again: we refresh the antivirus results when the saved ones are out of date.
