Document-based malware is becoming increasingly common. Malicious PDF files are one example of document files designed to exploit vulnerabilities in document-viewing software. Analyzing malicious PDF files (or any document files for that matter) requires that you understand the structure of the file you are analyzing. In dissecting the structure of such a file, your goal is often to discover any embedded code that may get executed if the document is successfully utilized to compromise a computer used to view it. The few PDF analysis tools that exist are primarily targeted at the command-line user with the goal of facilitating the extraction of information that might ultimately be loaded into IDA for further analysis.
