This dude also got Doom to run in a PDF FYI. Pretty insane level of scripting support for a supposedly static document format.
Which is why I open unknown source PDFs in a VM :)
Wow
This did not work on my iPhone. Instead there’s just an empty white box in the upper left-hand corner of the page.
That’s probably a good thing. Why on earth should a pdf file be able to do something like this? Just seems like another potential attack surface.
Which PDF reader were you using?
It’s the built-in PDF reader as part of the browser. I’m not aware that it has any name.
It would probably work in Adobe Reader. Surprisingly, it works in Firefox built-in PDF viewer, which has iffy compatibility with some more complex PDFs, but it might not work in the very different iOS build of this browser.
That’s impressive.
