I've seen in the mail archives that one can remove the XFA from a Acrobat 7 form to make filling of the form possible. And it works too. But I've also seen one nasty side effect: The client-side JavaScript in the PDF goes missing.
That is correct - because the JavaScript for an XFA-based form is located in the XFA.
Is there any way to preserve the JavaScript in the document after having removed the XFA form?
No, because the JS is part of the form - and you are removing the form (the XFA data).
If not, is there a way to re-add the JS to the form in a way that it'll work?
You can put back in "classic" AcroForm JavaScript - but not modern XFA stuff...
When setting Full Compression, the obvious happens, the pdf doesn't work with older versions of Reader.
Older than Acrobat/Reader 6, you mean. 6 and 7 fully support that option.
But I have seen some products that support "compression" in a way that the pdf's still work with older readers.
Correct.
Compression means many things to many people - and there are a myriad of ways to compress (and/or optimize) PDF documents.
