We now have JavaScript in PDFs?..
At some point people realized they couldn’t embed arbitrary scripts in pdf files, so they added JavaScript.
Now we have the best of both worlds. It makes perfect sense if you think about it(?)
Jokes aside, yes, we certainly do, and it is every bit is horrible as you might imagine and then some. I've seen people basically re-create spreadsheets in it, with the not entirely unexpected effect of updating the values taking up to 20 seconds.
