This is exactly what I hate about Adobe. They're always cramming way too much functionality into their plugins making them too heavy and riddled with security issues.
This is like flash player all over again. No way am I going to enable the proper pdf reader for web content view. There's a good reason browsers refuse to support all this
- dwd 6y agoThis is FlashPlayer. The underlying JavaScript-like language is ActionScript which was originally developed by MacroMedia to provide animation for Flash. It's quite useful for creating PDF SmartForms that adjust their contents based on the user's responses. Until very recently they were only viable in the official Abobe Reader until Chrome decided to add support. As far as security, blame Chrome for not incorporating an opt-in before allowing a particular PDF to run ActionScript in the browser.
- hutzlibu 6y agoActionscript is not the flash player though. It is just a scripting language. So did they actually use flash player tech?
