In computer security field, Malware is a constancy problem and its involvement is increasing rapidly .Cyber criminals are heavily using PDF documents for launching attacks. These attacks routinely results in the loss of confidential information. Attackers attach the malicious PDF documents to emails to deliver malicious code to normal users and make use of social engineering to open the email, attachment. This article outlines machine learning based approach for differentiating between the malicious and benign PDF document by analyzing the essential differences in the structural properties of the document. We have compared the proposed system with the other machine learning classifiers over 6000 real world Benign and Malicious files. Finally, this research work provides you some machine learning technique for the detection of malicious PDF documents.
