In a recent cyber investigation, we stumbled upon a peculiar PDF file seemingly devoid of any content. However, our digital forensic experts suspect there may be more to this file than meets the eye.

Despite initial appearances, we believe that this seemingly blank document may hold a hidden secret—a secret that could potentially uncover vital clues to the cybercriminal's activities.

Your task is to delve into the depths of this enigmatic PDF file and unveil the concealed truth within. The fate of the investigation rests in your hands.

Can you carve out the hidden image concealed within the depths of this seemingly innocuous PDF file?
