- madeofpalk 5y agoPDFs are hard and complicated?
- tediousdemise 5y agoIt's not just iOS. PDFs have always been an insecure attack vector.
- mr_toad 5y agoAdobe Reader/Acrobat used to be go-to surface for exploits back in the day. It’s a huge specification.
- thinkharderdev 5y agoPDF is basically a programming language, so instead of sending image data you send a program which is interpreted by the PDF reader to render an image on the client. That makes it really hard to secure completely.
