What we could do is to reject pdfs containing javascript. An unneeded feature IMHO. It has been used more as attack vector than legitimately. Do you know of a tool which could detect that? I don't think pdfinfo provides that.
Would pdf2ps -> ps2pdf do it?
If such a round-trip would suppress this (and I have no idea), the next question would be whether it would suppress or reduce in quality any of the other content that we actually do care about. In general such processes often have unintended consequences that make them undesirable.
