JavaScript is JavaScript, Core JavaScript is the same everywhere, but each application that implements JavaScript has it's own DOM (Document Object Model) for integrating it into the application. What this means is that JavaScript code written for one application, like a web browser, has absolutely no meaning in another application, like Acrobat.

However, if you are a masochist, you can display HTML in a Flash or Flex application, which can be played in a multimedia annotation in a PDF. But it can't actually be part of the PDF.
