How can I scan PDF for virus?
Can you suggest an automated tool to scan a PDF file to determine whether it might contain malware or other "bad stuff"? Or, alternatively, assigns a risk level to the PDF? I would prefer a free tool. It must be suitable for programmatic use, e.g., from the Unix command line, so that it is possible to scan PDFs automatically and take action based upon that. A web-based solution might also be OK if it is scriptable.
Just came by this very recent blog post by Lenny Zeltser which is pretty much right for you to scan PDF for virus 6 Free Tools for analysing Malicious PDF Files http://blog.zeltser.com/post/5360563894/tools-for-malicious-pdf-analysis
