# Modified version of the Adobe PDF Embedded EXE Social Engineering "adobe_pdf_embedded_exe.rb".  
# This version does not require JavaScript to be enabled and does not required the EXE to be  
# attached to the PDF. The EXE is embedded in the PDF in a non-standard method using HEX  
# encoding.  
#  
# Lots of reused code from adobe_pdf_embedded_exe.rb and the other PDF modules to make the PDF.  
# Thanks to all those that wrote the code for those modules, as I probably could not have  
# wrote this module without borrowing code from them.
