You can do exactly that. Setup a .wsb file that mounts your downloads folder to the VM desktop and disable network.
Open the .wsb (1 click) then open the PDF (1 or 2 clicks). When you're finished close the windows sandbox window and it'll all be gone.
- tssva 4y agoUsing a zero install PDF viewer, the wsb login command and a few lines script file one could also have the PDF automatically open in the Windows sandbox with a double click or using "Open with" from the context menu.
- jmprspret 4y agoYou could piggyback off MS Edge in the sandbox to open the PDF. Provided you don't need any advanced features, and just want to read it. But yes that is a great idea.
