> it doesn't actually execute code, right? Then what's the power of having a compiler in a PDF? you can output the executable, but can you run it?
Depends what you mean by "run", really. You can write a full-on X86 emulator, and execute a compiled binary there. But given that it's an emulator running in a nested series of sandboxes, it won't be terribly useful -- for example, it still won't have I/O capabilities.
