Hi Arturs

If I understand well, the FML is blocking the PDF files that contain a js script, right?

If this is the case then It is probably a suspect file.

In case you are certain that this file is clean, and the js script inside is not malware (for example after you scan it with a good anti-malware), then you may alter your content filter profile to allow the js file extension.

If your FML's Antivirus profile is active and scans the PDF file then I think you don't have to worry, since it should scan it and detect if the js script is actually a malware.
