[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 97327, post: 1062478"] I used Sumatra in stead of Adobe in the past, but why would you need a PDF reader nowadays when browsers (with strong sandboxing and site permission restrictions) can also read PDFs? In Windows11 Microsoft forces Edge upon people. Edge has the strongest sandbox (AppContainer) and security (SuperDupermode). I don't use Edge as the browser on my wife's laptop, but use it with all site permissions on deny as PDF reader (and you can harden Edge with registry tweaks using GPO settings, eg enable PDFSecureMode). Alternative (to Adobe) PDF readers are (on Windows) a blast from the past IMO. [/QUOTE]
