    PDFs have been an attack vector for a while actually.

      One more reason never to use the official adobe software. SumatraPDF is awesome. Barebones and blazing fast.

      If you view it on your system it’s a vector. Large / complex documents which may parse things with different libraries just happen to have a larger attack surface.

    This was the thought that entered my head. Kids these days didn’t live through rampant vbscripts running off the onLoad event.
