Run a basic local structural check for the PDF header, end marker, cross-reference pointer, page tree and parser readability. The browser checks core PDF markers and attempts to parse the document locally. This is a practical structural screen, not archival, accessibility, signature or legal-compliance certification. Compare the reported result with the file's visible properties and remember that a local inspection can only report information stored inside that file.
