PDFs have been known to contain malicious payloads. However, if your software is up to date (patched), and you don't click on anything in the PDF, then printing it should be a low risk activity. -Adam Get Outlook for Androidhttps://aka.ms/AAb9ysg ________________________________ From: Roundtable roundtable-bounces@muug.ca on behalf of eh@eduardhiebert.com eh@eduardhiebert.com Sent: Sunday, May 7, 2023 5:00:08 PM To: Continuation of Round Table discussion roundtable@muug.ca Subject: [RndTbl] Is printing a pdf attached to an email safe?
Hi,
Without opening a pdf, attached to an email but simply using my computer's print option, is there still a risk of some kind of infection?
I ask as some time I asked the question whether opening a pdf could compromise my computer and the best advise at the time was that it was possible.
Thanks,
Eduard
