What tool can I use to forensically check a single .pdf

I usually use Autopsy however, Autopsy only allows me to check logical drives or images.

I would like to check a single .pdf that i think is infected.

what tool allows me to do that and how

To scan one file you can upload it to virustotal.

File contains private information I am not allowed to send it outside of the network

I used text editor to check for common terms used in a reverse shell script but I didn't find anything. Still I am not 100% confident.

Do you mean to check, if your PDF file is infected with a virus?? As, it's not all that clear, from your question.

If you are talking about viruses, there are a number of apps, that could do that for you (available for Linux).

checking the binary data may be helpful, if you know what to look for?
