PDF sharing review guide

Review PDF Attachments and Automatic Actions Before Sharing

Separate visible attachments, embedded actions, and unknown evidence before deciding whether to share. This fixed synthetic case does not execute or sanitize anything.

1. Review attachments and actions separately

The presence of an attachment and the absence of an action are separate checks. If evidence is missing, keep the decision at “review required.”

review required is not a safety guarantee. The guide does not execute actions, remove attachments, or auto-approve sharing.

2. Use this order before sharing

  1. Record the PDF filename, revision, and review time.
  2. Record whether attachments are none, present, or unknown.
  3. Record whether actions are none, present, or unknown, with evidence only.
  4. Keep missing evidence at review required and stop the sharing decision.

PDF page extraction selects pages and saves locally. It does not guarantee attachment or action safety.

3. Required record fields

FieldRecord
TargetFilename, revision, and review time
AttachmentNone, present, or unknown, plus observed names
ActionNone, present, or unknown; never execute it here
Decisionreviewed or review required

What this guide does not do

No PDF upload, action execution, attachment removal, safety guarantee, server-side ledger, or external send. If a real PDF cannot be confirmed, return to the appropriate specialist review process.
