Re: PDF's unsafe?

["Mark W. Webb" <mark () dolphtech com>]

It appears that there are ways in which malware can be injected into a 
PDF.  My question is, are there tools to detect them/remove them?  Sure, 
I guess AV programs can help, but what about the case where I insert a 
"del /f c:\*.*"

Thanks...
