NO! BAD!

NO! BAD!
i think i have a suspicion as to why this is bad but. why is this bad? aside from "why didn't you just upload it as a pdf if it has to be a pdf so bad"?
so the zip file is of code so its kiiiind of a pain to do any other way than a zip file
the reason theyre getting us to rename it to a pdf is because whatever filesharing service this form is using doesnt let you put zips on it, only documents like word documents or pdfs
its a really hacky way around it lol

no it isn't.
paste the code into a word doc, export to pdf, easy peasy!
it's not like anyone will want to run the code or anything.
there is only one situation in which this is acceptable and that is if it's a zip file that is also a valid pdf (in which case you're already doing crimes anyway)
