Considering the recent exploits of the .pdf format for running code to hack computers, would you REALLY trust it from the US government? Seriously, the same government which has access to a tool that actually, and safely, disables Intel Management Engine as part of their High Assurance hardware program.

I can protect myself. Those attacks are not on the format. they are on the parser (specific implementations). The PDF is going to be composed of scanned images. Just carve them out of the file.

Images can contain executable code in the metadata too.
