@AzuMao PDF is not insecure. Adobe's attempt to make PDF "active" is not only insecure, but goes against the virtues of PDF.
Remember years ago when we told people to send files as PDFs instead of as Word for (among other things) security reasons? Well if you use Adobe Reader that advice no longer holds.
Fortunately there are plenty of other PDF readers out there. For OS X, the native PDF reader is sufficient for 95% of what people need to use. On Windows, Sumatra PDF is a reasonably decent alternative (although printing from it is poor).
Adobe's attitude toward security today reminds me of Microsoft 10 years ago.
