A pdf can contain some JavaScript actions to execute when the file is loaded and those actions can call alert function (which is pretty similar to the js functions window.alert).
So it's possible to have some popups at loading time which can be a bit intrusive from a user point of view.
We already added some workarounds to avoid them:
:RT, what do you think about disabling popups when the pdf is loaded ?

It's really hard to make a call without context on why these modals may be called. Is there a risk we'd be removing genuinely useful alerts?
