---------- DISCLAIMER ----------

Latest version of this software is very old and so it may contain bugs, so to be on the safe side make sure to NOT open any untrusted pdf files with it. For this same reason we have limited this application to only save files to standard locations: "Downloads", "Documents". You can also save to external devices (like USB pendrive).
