Disable javascript except on whitelisted sites 4. Avoid Internet
Explorer as much as possible  I agree, but Acrobat seems to be
to PDF, what IE is to HTML.  After all, every time we visit an
untrusted site, our web browsers are opening files from it, and
we expect then to be secure.  (I've never figured out why it
would be useful to have javascript in something that is
essentially a printer friendly format).   Some of the other
readers are implementing Javascript because otherwise they
cannot replace Acrobat Reader in some environments.  Thread
