Are Programs Using Java Still a Security Risk?
Since Adobe Acrobat Standard XI will reach EOL on 10/15/2017 and I do not want to downgrade to Adobe's stupid subscription model, cloud based Acrobat 12, I've been looking for a PDF creation/editing program that has both Windows and Linux versions so I can learn to use it while still on Win 7 and later continue to use it when I switch to Linux in a couple of years or so. I have narrowed the choice down to Master PDF Editor and PDF Studio Pro. I just tried out Master PDF Editor and found it too limiting (the first deal breaker I encountered was that I could only insert PDF files when inserting pages—I often insert JPGs when using Acrobat—so I deleted the program after that) which leaves PDF Studio Pro.
However, it uses Java. PDF Studio Pro gets mostly good reviews but the Java thing concerns me a bit after all the hoopla over all the new security holes that kept turning up as fast as they could get patched. I haven't heard anything about Java having vulnerabilities in quite a while so I was wondering if would be safe to try out (and use if I like it) PDF Studio Pro?
