Chrome displays "Potentially Dangerous" error message for PDF file, how can I fix this?

4

I need to post a rental agreement on to my website and I set up a link to that specific asset file. I designed it in InDesign, then exported the file as a PDF. I tested the link and chrome prompts that the PDF file is "potentially dangerous".

It is a two page document so I can't put it in an image format.

Is there anyway that I can re-export it so my viewers can view the PDF file and yet don't think my website is potentially dangerous?

2Is Google reporting any other pages on your domain as "potentially dangerous"? It seems odd that it would only flag a PDF extension. – zigojacko – 2015-01-26T14:42:18.183

1If you can, try your PDF on another domain. – MrWhite – 2015-01-26T15:53:46.120

@zigojacko Only when you open up the PDF. – None – 2015-01-26T17:56:07.923

@w3d I tried it on my main domain, then on the subdomain. – None – 2015-01-26T17:56:32.493

Maybe try using something other than InDesign to create the PDF,maybe try Microsoft Word,or perhaps LibreOffice if you are using Linux.
