How sure are you that there are no network requests happening? I tried to look this up and wasn't able to find any clear answer.

(It looks like at least some PDF readers have provided support for automatically displaying external images, for example)

The full PDF spec is insane and allows for web requests and javascript. Most readers do not implement the anti features but adobe's tools will.
