Origapy is a Python interface to Origami, a PDF parser written in Ruby. It provides access to pdfclean.rb, in order to sanitize PDF files by disabling all active content (javascript, launch actions, embedded files, etc). Because Origami is a full PDF parser, it is much more effective than PDFiD (when sanitizing/disarming PDF files), but also quite slower. ...
PDF files may be used to trigger malicious content, as described here. PDFiD is a Python tool to analyze and sanitize PDF files, written by Didier Stevens. Here is PDFiD_PL, a version that I have slightly modified so that it can be imported as a module in Python applications (originally for ExeFilter). ...

This article explains how many common file formats (DOC, XLS, PDF, HTML, XML, RTF, ...) may hide or trigger malicious code (virus, Trojan horse, ...) using their native features such as active content (macros, Javascript, etc). It was presented at the SSTIC symposium and OSSIR in 2003. This article focuses on all files that can enter a company network by many different means (web, e-mail, USB sticks, CDs, laptops, etc), most of the time without being properly filtered. Once a file is opened by a user, it can easily trigger malicious actions and put the network's security at risk. ...
