Can HummusJS be used for removing scripts, executables and malware from PDFs? #392

I have a question regarding the usage/a potential feature of HummusJS. Since PDFs could contain dangerous code, like scripts, even all sorts of malware (cf https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/64052/can-a-pdf-file-contain-a-virus), I'd like to remove everything from a PDF which is potentially dangerous. Can I do that with HummusJS? If yes: How?
