Use a in-browser PDF renderer, such as mozilla/pdf.js which Firefox uses, and the true and tested browser sandbox will most likely be very helpful.

Worth mentioning that usually you don't end up in legal troubles for consuming copyrighted material but for reproducing/sharing copyrighted material, and often not until you do so at scale.
