Acrobat never differentiated between "static" and "dynamic" SVG, it simply fed embedded SVG through an included copy of the Adobe SVG Viewer. We are no longer including ASV with Acrobat and thus ALL SVG functionality has been deprecated.
Why are we no longer including ASV? A variety of reasons including (but not limited to) * trying to reduce the delivery size of Adobe Reader (a frequent complaint from customers), * since we no longer maintain ASV, we have problems with Leopard and Vista It is certainly possible that since ISO now owns PDF, they may choose to re-introduce SVG into PDF - either as it was before or perhaps as part of a conversion to XML similar to our own Mars project. I would certainly recommend that anyone interested please join the ISO committee and make their desires heard.
