You did amuse me! Thanks!

To me this is the kind of scope creep that causes a "simple" PDF renderer department to end up with 50 devs working in it full-time.

I wonder... can a PDF have an iframe that opens itself? Causing an infinie loop of it loading itself?

That's a nice idea. Can we call that PDF bomb?

In reality most PDF apps don't support those elements (even software like macOS Preview) and people get along just fine.
