I have the impression that you try to do something very, very specific for
the lifetime of this long thread, but you're not sharing your requirements
constructing weird 'suppose that..' scenarios instead.

People try to help you, answer all your requests so far, but from this
particular point of view I doubt that anyone _can_ help you, unless you're
sharing what you actually want to do. Without much hand waiving and
dropping weasel words like in "detect suspicious PDF files".

My humble opinion and all, of course.
