SumatraPDF is the only reasonable way to view a PDF safely. http://www.sumatrapdfreader.org/free-pdf-reader.html http://www.sumatrapdfreader.org/free-pdf-reader.html Not perfect but definitely not adobe or foxit and way safer than viewing in any browser.

What makes Sumatra safer than other FOSS PDF viewers like evince, okular, epdf, etc.?

  Market share... and ignorance of users :)

  It doesn't try to execute javascript and whatever else is in PDF these days.

    Exactly!

Sumatra is written in a memory-unsafe language and runs unsandboxed natively. Why should I trust it? Browsers are at least sandboxed and have heavily scrutinised codebases.
