Is the source file for compiling that PDF file avaialble?
If not, it has to be treated as binary block and excluded.

I don't know.
In rocCLR there are also some tricky claims such as
"Trade secret of ATI Technologies, Inc."
https://github.com/ROCm-Developer-Tools/ROCclr/blob/develop/device/gpu/gslbe/src/rt/inifile/inifile_parser.cpp#L22
which seems like some kind of leftover. And we need to
ask the upstream to remove the claims or we have to exclude the
files.
