You can open them, but they don't actually "work" and you might not 
notice. The trouble is that some PDF include javascript code that has to 
run. It does things, typically calculations on the fields.

AFAIK, only adobe handles it "correctly". Well, it is their baby. 
Firefox handles it now, but mostly incorrectly.
Most PDF viewers don't do javascript at all.
