Infected pdf file, help me recovery file!

[J@ke_23]

There is a pdf file with pictures, when opening the file, instead of the picture, the inscription "hello world!", Apparently the file is infected, is it possible to recover the file?

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out.

Could you please confirm how exactly you have received this PDF? If the file is corrupted, there is no option to recover it.

The file that you have shared above shows only a few dots in it and it opens without any error messages. Is it the same file you are referring to?

Please share the screenshot of the screen you receive on opening the PDF.

Thanks,

Meenakshi

Hi, Meenakshi.

Yes, this file.

the pdf file was in the Sinology network shared folder

It doesn't say "infected". Read it again. It says "protected", which is entirely different.

Download the file and try to open it in Acrobat or Acrobat Reader.

there was a picture, it used to open normally, recently it started to open like this and there are a lot of such files, everything opens like this, instead of the picture it shows the text "Hello world!"
