pdf files can be backdoored

Hi malware fighters,

We have to check every file, and we cannot trust anyone, unless proven otherwise.
For the paranoid, read this:

The Internet is an insecure place. Your boss does not allow you to surf the Internet, because he does not want his computers  infected by the private actions by his workforce, but the next time "they" open a backdoored pdf file?
