Right, I'm almost thinking if they made an option when saving a PDF (from whatever Product) to save it to a certain compatibility and it would warn you of anything incompatible with the version you're wanting to save. Almost like when you save an .ai file from illustrator it gives you an option to save it as a certain version. I would welcome this because 99.9999% of the PDFs I ever open are just to view or print. I hardly ever do anything with it other than that and a streamlined reader/plugin that I already had on my computer would be AWESOME.

Little or none, especially if you don't expect the cut-down version to cope with things like embedded JavaScript or Forms. However, it wouldn't quite be the Flash 8 player, but more a combination of the two.
