Does your PDF contain malware?
I don't want to tap, or download, it.

What if I told you, that there's an algorythm, that generates every prime number, and it's less computationally expensive than sieve?

That is a huge problem with that file format, really people should just use HTML, even with Javascript animations it would be far safer.

How tf do you put malware in a pdf file? Genuinely curious, I’m not a cs guy.

I ran the URL of the pdf file on a website. Besides the one flag, it seems clean.

historically, software that renders complex output has to do a lot of low level operations that don't take into account the need to sterilize the input. so carefully crafted instructions can be embedded that gain access to the memory space of the vulnerable application being targeted. at that point, new code can be run to do various nefarious things.
but even if there is no exploit, PDFs are very flexible in what they can do and can still get people to download malware from other sources.

Ugh I was consistently downloading books from libgen. Should I format my computer?

thx. I have typed “vim *filename*.pdf” on accident a few types (when editing .tex files) and it did seem like a lot of code just to do a fancy version of a word document.
