    I can see it now: “New worm infects PDFs, causes users viewing them to mine Bitcoin.”

        One more reason never to use the official adobe software. SumatraPDF is awesome. Barebones and blazing fast.

          Anti adobe is cool - the recommendation is appreciated… but any software can be the target of a document based exploit and may well be susceptible to the same exploit depending on the libraries used. Additionally, smaller software projects can take longer to update as they have less staff working on them. Absolutely support open software and alternatives… Just a word of caution.
