Re: @h4rmony
I actually don't see anywhere that you said you weren't talking about security.
Let's see here, did you see me actually talking about security in that post? I also was not talking about many other things. But a comment earlier above I did. I also had to correct you and others on what ISO PDF standard doesn't have.
..but you're just using it as an opportunity to attack people
Attacking people is not my hobby, ignorance is what I like to attack.
And a viewer that doesn't implement common parts of real world PDFs might be more purist and safer, but is going to be frustrating for most users...
So these are "common parts" and "the real world" already? Viruses and trojans are also a common part of the real world as well as virus scanners and antivirus software. There is a simple way to remove these common parts and from everyone's real world: use free, non proprietary software and file formats, period.
PDFs should not be on any preferred list is all that I'm arguing.
I am arguing the opposite, at least, it is good that you are not making my preferred list.
