Hi all,

please also note what I wrote on this topic in a different, earlier thread:
Message-ID: <1999657706.870025.1453662574817.javamail.ya...@mail.yahoo.com>,
archive Web URL https://sourceforge.net/p/podofo/mailman/message/34791645/

titled "PdfString with negative length" where I reviewed a patch for that
from a security researcher,  and asked for some fixes to that, but
nothing came of it, either on the list, or personally to me.

That's also interesting for me, please share.

Mobile security can be enabling, not merely restricting. Employees who

apps on BYO-devices by containerizing them, leaving personal data untouched!
