Original Abstract Submitted

A method for analyzing a PDF document includes: modifying, by an analyzer, a background color of the document to a second color to generate a modified document; converting, by a noise removal module (NRM), the modified document into an image; making, by the NRM, a first determination that the image comprises a background noise, in which the noise is reduced by modifying an area within the image; generating, by a fraud detection module (FDM), at least one image patch from the image; generating, by the FDM, an embedding for the at least one image patch, in which the embedding is processed using a convolutional neural network (CNN) layer; making, by the FDM and based on an output of the CNN layer, a second determination that the document is invalid; and notifying, by the FDM, a user about the second determination using a GUI of the client.
