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 🙂 , 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 [Dangerzone Document Viewer | Open Source Tool To Scan & View PDF Files](https://onehack.st/t/dangerzone-document-viewer-open-source-tool-to-scan-view-pdf-files/102501) ---

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? ---

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. ---

Here is another method : upload the file in [this site](https://www.virustotal.com/gui/) and it will analyse for any problem. (NOT SURE HOW RELIABLE IS THIS SITE )
