> I'm surprised to hear they're getting rid of JavaScript (and I couldn't find any references to that, but I wish it to be true)
I won't believe it until I see hard evidence. Acrobat and Reader have supported JavaScript for something like two decades. (I wrote a bunch of JavaScript multimedia APIs when I worked there around 2002.)
Consider the large number of interactive PDFs on the IRS website that use JavaScript for form calculations. I don't think Adobe is highly motivated to break all of those.
