This is not related to mORMot but since we all use PDF for various stuff it's worth mentioning I think.

Adobe seems to have changed their license terms and if I understand correctly just opening pdf with AcrobatReader gives them permanent right to use that pdf for improving their products/services, which likely means for anything. It's also not just for pdf but images, text or anything other that's used on some Adobe software.

Since pdf is de facto standard for everythhing, I'm wondering what are simple alternatives to their viewer software? I know of Foxit Readear but that's not much better to AcrobatReader.

By far the best I've come across is Sumatra PDF Reader :

Truly excellent - and open-source.
