What is PDF Auditor?
PDF Auditor is a native macOS application designed for developers, QA engineers, and security analysts who need to see "under the hood" of a PDF file.
Unlike standard PDF editors that focus on changing content, PDF Auditor focuses on inspection and diagnostics. It allows you to view the raw internal structure (COS tree), analyze page geometry, and detect potential issues in generated or received files.
Key Features:
• Deep Forensic Analysis: Detect incremental updates, version history, and "Shadow Attack" manipulation risks. • JavaScript Debugging: View all embedded JavaScript with syntax highlighting and risk assessment (e.g., flagging auto-print or data exfiltration scripts). • Internal Structure: Inspect the raw object hierarchy (Dictionaries, Arrays, Streams) and analyze content streams. • Attachment Validation: Extract embedded files and verify them against checksums. • Privacy First: 100% native Mac app. No cloud uploads; all analysis happens locally on your machine.
A lightweight, native alternative to heavy forensic tools, designed specifically for the Apple ecosystem.
