Parent article: Google warns of using Adobe Reader - particularly on Linux (The H)

In university, I used Adobe for:
* drm protected academic papers
* high density vector images (evince shows spurious triagles and got z-order wrong)
* embedded 3D images & movies (although 3D is suppose to work now in evince i think)
* embedded flash content
* forms

If you encounter vector images that don't look correct in evince, please report the PDFs to the Poppler project.

I knew Acrobat supported all kinds of stuff, like embedded zipfiles and javascript. But I had never encountered them.

FWIW, I remembering successfully embedding video in a PDF and viewing it in Okular in 2010 or so. The PDF was created with LaTeX, but I don't remember which package.
