why certification of PDF files is important

So imagine that you are developing interactive online PDF forms and other javascripted functions - they promised you at Adobe that your imagination could be without limits and that your wishes were their commands - and that you are now reading that people are putting off their javascript in their PDF readers or just blocking them in their networks. What do you do ?

Well you tell your developers that you need a certification and authentification systems by which the malware inspector or security person on the other network - or the user - can see that the PDF files have been tested and have been certified to be coming for you. THis is essential for for example Identification or IThealth projects (someone listening ? :) )

Without it you will have a lot of problems just getting your PDF files past IDS, heuristic code control and just plain paranoia.
