This is a slippery slope. You are asking the mail filter to not just
filter mail, but to actually modify the intended message from the sender.
Banks and financial institutions are putting javascript in PDFs. I gave
up on trying to filter it for the clients that deal with them. They
were advised on the risks, they have a place to forward them for review
if they think they might be questionable, and they know the onus is on them.

Seriously though, if ASSP were able to call an external program when
javascript is found to strip out that javascript, it would be
incredible. What about using something like ghostscript to recreate the
pdf? Or maybe some sort of image tool to at least give users images of
the PDF so they could know whether it's necessary to ask for a resend?

Betreff: [Assp-test] Possible to remove javascript from PDF?
------------------------------------------------------------------------
We're blocking pdf's with javascript in them. The problem is that
more and more people are receiving legitimate pdf's with javascript.
Yes, I can make exceptions by sender and SHA256, but that's a lot to
maintain.
Is there any possibility of having ASSP modify PDF's with javascript
to strip the javascript and let the file through???
