I'm searching for a PDF reader that doesn't supports Java, JavaScript in PDF files (and other unneeded things what is only used in 1% of the PDF files, but can cause security issues). Or there isn't any?

OpenBSD 6.2 has at least these PDF viewers in ports:

  • x11/gnustep/gspdf: "GSPdf is a PDF and PostScript file viewer for GNUstep."
  • textproc/xpdf: "Xpdf is an open source viewer for Portable Document Format (PDF) files."
  • textproc/pdfpc: "pdfpc is a GTK-based presentation viewer which uses Keynote-like multi-monitor output to provide meta information to the speaker during the presentation."
  • textproc/mupdf: "MuPDF is a lightweight PDF and XPS viewer."
  • productivity/impressive: "Impressive is a program that displays PDF presentation slides with style."
  • print/gv: "GNU gv allows to view and navigate through PostScript and PDF documents on an X display by providing a user interface for the ghostscript interpreter."
  • print/apvlv: "Apvlv is a PDF Viewer with vim-like keybindings."

Out of these, I have only ever used xpdf and gv, and neither use Java or JavaScript as far as I know.

The above list was compiled by looking for the word PDF in the port description files on a system with the /usr/ports hierarchy checked out form CVS:

find /usr/ports/ -type f -name 'DESCR*' -exec grep -iF pdf {} +
