Hi there, curious about the subject however I am not willing to download a pdf, as per recent revelations that adobe pdf has become a hacking vector. Any ability to add a url for web based content?
- ogogmad 5y agoHave you looked into different PDF readers? There's more than just Adobe Acrobat. Your browser might have its own PDF reader.
- pettycashstash2 5y agoNot aware of other more secure readers. Suggestions welcome.
- bombcar 5y agoThis PDF is simply a compilation of scanned images, and didn't hack me hardly at all.
- LeifCarrotson 5y agoFirefox has included a viewer based on PDF.js since 2013: https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js#online-demo https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js#online-demo No need to download to anything other than localstorage. There have been a half dozen vulnerabilities found in the Firefox extension code exploitable through PDF.js over the years, but this is a far better record than the hundreds of vulnerabilities identified in Acrobat Reader. PDF.js does a lot less than Acrobat. It's much more focused on just displaying articles, and less about rich media interactions like embedding 3D models, Flash, videos, etc. in the PDF.
- pettycashstash2 5y agoVery much appreciate you pointing this out. Do you know if I can use this to embed a pdf in a personal website. a resume for example?
