PDFs frequently contain malware, and the conventional methods of locating such threats do not always function for obfuscated files and zero-day attacks. This paper considers how machine learning (ML) can be utilized to locate malicious PDFs. We experimented with various ML techniques like MLP, KNN, SVM, Logistic Regression, and Random Forest using the Evasive-PDFMal2022 dataset. Our research reveals that identifying the right features and adjusting the hyperparameters is crucial in order to identify such threats adequately. The Random Forest algorithm with a limited number of features achieves a wonderful balance between accuracy and performance. These results indicate that machine learning is a powerful tool to assist in identifying risky PDF files.
