Six things at least: 1) Javascript support in PDF forms. 2) Embedded movies (Yes, in PDF. Yes, Adobe is crazy). 3) All kinds of 3D embedded stuff. 4) That 'wonderful' PDF lexem that commands PDF reader to execute an arbitrary binary in user's OS (not a joke, this is a real part of PDF 1.4 specs). 5) Apparently, there are some problems with audio playback in libpoppler (yes, audio can be embedded in PDFs too). 6) Older libpoppler versions ignored DRM restrictions in PDF files (a feature for me, but upstream thinks differently). How exactly does one need to use LaTeX to produce such PDF is a mystery to me. But the more mystery is - why produce PDF with such capabilities.
