Hi,
I’m surfing Internet and deep web and I download pdf files from many sites and recently I eared that hacker can do a lot to pdf files to hack you ( I don’t know how ) .
So I’m wondering if there is a way to convert pdf files to safe ones like a website that do that.
Thanks in advance !

You have many options mate :slight_smile: , but they are all commun…You can

1- Run/Open the pdf in sandboxie
2- Run/Open the pdf in windows sandbox
3- Run/Open the pdf in Virtual machine (Oracle or VMware)

PS: I don’t know if conversion of a pdf will protect you but you need to try this tool if you don’t want to use the three options above

As far as I know, pdf backdoor connection, use exploit from adobe product. So, as long as you open pdf file with a more secure app (like libreoffice), you will be safe.

I don’t know if Virtual Machines can make us safe .
You know there are codes which can understand if you are on a virtual machine and you know virtual machines have connection with the main machine so what’s the point?

Here is another method :
upload the file in this site and it will analyse for any problem. (NOT SURE HOW RELIABLE IS THIS SITE )
