Bug ID: 155419
Summary: PDF's created with the "export to PDF" option are
tagged as malicious files
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.4.6.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Printing and PDF export
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
When creating a pdf in LibreOffice with the "export to PDF" option, the
resulting file is tagged as malicious in Google Drive.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a new document in LibreOffice and save it as PDF.
2. Upload it to Google Drive.
3. Get a link to share the pdf with anyone.
4. Paste the link to in a browser to download the file.
5. Google Drive shows a warning message: "This file is executable and may harm
your computer".
This behavior is due to a string that LibreOffice inserts in the code of the
pdfs. The string is /OpenAction [ 1 0 R /XYZ null null 0 ]. It would be nice to
have this /OpenAction disabled by default.
In this post there is an analysis of a pdf created this way with LibreOffice:
