Is Foxit PDF Editor Cloud: Edit and Convert safe?
Foxit PDF Editor Cloud lets websites invoke its viewer to fetch a supplied URL and pass the response to Foxit cloud.
The extension exposes its PDF viewer pages to all websites and the viewer accepts a file URL supplied in the page query string. When that page is opened, the extension fetches the supplied URL in extension context and passes the response buffer to the Foxit online viewer.
