Portable — Document Spear

Introduction

• Disable JavaScript in all PDF readers.
• Use PDF flattening tools to remove all interactive elements.
• Implement Content Disarm & Reconstruction (CDR) that strips every object except rendered text and images — effectively breaking the spear's tip.
• Train users to recognize "spear-shaped anomalies" : documents that are unexpectedly small, have no visible content, or request unusual permissions.

Conclusion

Golden Rule: Never enable "Edit" or "Sign" mode on a PDF you didn't request. That's when the JavaScript activates. Portable Document Spear
