 Right now our download warning text says:
 {{{
 Don't open documents downloaded through Tor while online

 The Tor Browser will warn you before automatically opening documents that
 are
 handled by external applications. DO NOT IGNORE THIS WARNING. You should
 be
 very careful when downloading documents via Tor (especially DOC and PDF
 files)
 as these documents can contain Internet resources that will be downloaded
 outside of Tor by the application that opens them. This will reveal your
 non-Tor IP address. If you must work with DOC and/or PDF files, we
 strongly
 recommend either using a disconnected computer...
 }}}

 We should update it to say that the built-in pdf.js is ok. Otherwise users
 will misunderstand what we think is ok and not ok, which could undermine
 whether they listen to our other recommendations.
