Actually this files has something like this AA << /D <</S/Hide /T(Help1)>> >>
so when clicking on the help widget, it should go away. So at least this is NOT related to our lack of javascript but two bugs in poppler. One is that we don't support Hide actions and the other is that the glib frontend does not support additional actions... these two should be filed as different bugs (and I will do so later)
