a pdf can only contain malware when it is an attachment, a "stream" object of the file format. it can only be executed when that attachment is opened. very few softwares handle these attachments, Adobe products among them.

yes, if you can open the PDF in foxit and it appears normal it is highly unlikely it is infected at all, but even if it is this will not put you in danger (as the infection lies in the attachment).

PDFs can contain links which can lead to malware, however.

Some time certain PDF files are binded with trojans.It doesn't contain any books at all instead some crap .exe files renamed and added an extension like .pdf. So you should always scan pdf or any files before opening it. A good pdf file never contains any trojan like 'Trojan.Dropper.Heur.gen2'. Try to use some good antivirus too.

I assume this is more of the same, so I've merged this new thread into your existing one.

If you have Adobe Acrobat, you could delete the attached trojan from the PDF file.
