[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 956000, member: 32260"] PDF documents in Adobe Acrobat Reader are sandboxed too.:) Many users are very happy with Adobe applications and too many are infected anyway. But, the problem here is different. It is not related to escaping the sandbox but to the proper isolation of different things that can happen into the sandbox. There is a reason why Microsoft introduced Application Guard for Edge (safe browsing). They did it to isolate safe browsing sessions from normal web browsing. Of course, for occasional viewing of PDF documents, Edge is OK. Just like using a free AV for security. You have a good chance to avoid malware infection via PDF files. [B]Anyway, the purpose of this thread is to find something much safer, for people who need it.[/B](y) [/QUOTE]
