Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) emits highly corrosive and toxic chlorine gas when melted and is therefore not allowed in a laser cutter!
Cutting PVC sheets with power saws is a bit less dangerous but should also only be attempted in well ventilated areas. It is still going to damage the tool or at least its blade over time, so make sure the owner is okay with it!
PVC foil is a bit easier to deal with: you can cut it with scissors, scalpels or a cutting plotter.
