What Is A PDF Reader?
Not all PDF readers are created equal
A PDF reader is a program that allows you to view PDF files. Not all PDF readers are created equal though! The most popular PDF readers are now bloated, with huge downloads and constant updates – because they are vulnerable to hackers who are always taking advantage of the security loopholes that most PDF readers come with. This is definitely not something we want for our users (or ourselves), and is why we decided to create our own PDF reader.
