A flash file can be embedded in a PDF document. Does anyone know if it is also possible to embed an HTML webpage?

- I don’t mean just a plain HTML document, but a webpage with Javascript too.

The answer is no.
While you can embed videos, sounds and SWF files in a PDF, dynamic HTML files aren’t supported. (Adobe AIR is more suitable to package and distribute HTML files).
The best you can do in a PDF is to use the ATTACH option in Adobe Acrobat. This will “attach” any file with the PDF document similar to how you add an attachment with an email. But the attachment can’t be viewed within the PDF document, and has to be opened separately.

Javascript can be added to PDF files and used to manipulate various elements within the PDF file.
