From: "Geo." 

I hate javascript in forms, there should just be a flag you set to clear a
form on open instead they use javascript. When I saw how this was done I
explored their other features and found they included far too much power in
what you can do with this feature. I don't know if foxit's javascript
capabilities go that far. Need to find some time to explore.

Anyway, the reason I changed to foxit was not for safety, it was because
it's not a 50mb pig like acrobat reader has become.

As far as safety goes, htm is not safe and I use it because I have to, pdf
is no different.
