Overview
This pull request resolves a SyntaxWarning: invalid escape sequence '\w' that occurs when running the malicious-pdf.py script. The warning arises due to unescaped backslashes in the XML stylesheet URL in the create_malpdf4 function. The issue has been fixed by marking the string as a raw string using the r'' prefix.
Changes Made
Updated the create_malpdf4 function to use raw string literals (r'') for better handling of backslashes in file paths and XML attributes.
This change ensures that the backslashes (\) are interpreted literally without raising warnings during execution.
