Hi there, I have a series of pdf files that I need a way to figure out if there is executable code inside the files.  Do you know of a good method to do this on a batch level?

You can use the Preflight tool or the PDF Optimiser (Save as Other).

Hmm the pdf is still being rejected.  Is there a way to extract the contents that show the code?
