Someone I do not know sent me a PDF via CC and I don't trust it

Question

I just received a notification from Creative Cloud, stating that a person I do not know has sent me a PDF. See attached screen shot.

As I do not know this person, and the PDF title is meaningless to me, I perceived this as either spam or a possible attempt to install malware on my computer.

I deleted the notification.

Adobe needs to look into this, but getting someone on the phone is – of course – impossible.

And, naturally, I had to select one of the four suggested topics that have nothing to do with this issue in order to get this posted.

Adobe: do better.

Mike, thanks for your post about PDF reviews. I checked the account you used to post to this public discussion forum, but I don't see an active membership tied to the account.  What type of Creative Cloud membership are you using?
