summary	To open an `.exe` file on Linux, which typically requires Windows compatibility software since most native applications and files are not designed with this operating system's architecture in mind. One of the recommended tools that can run executable (.exe) programs is Wine (Wine Is Not an Emulator). Wine translates .exe calls into POSIX-compliant function calls so they may be executed on Linux. To remove JavaScript content from a PDF file while using open-source software, you could use `pdf.js` through Python with the PyPDF2 library. However, this will not directly execute as it requires additional work to interpret and process the JS within PDFs since it's an interactive script typically found in web documents rather than static ones like regular PDFs. Please clarify if you're looking for a way to clean JavaScript scripts embedded into PDF files (usually used only when they're meant for viewing on platforms that support this feature) or you want help with extracting content from them without the interactivity. If it's about cleaning up interactive elements while keeping non-interactive text and images, it becomes more complex due to security reasons inherent in running such JavaScript scripts directly through a script runner like Python's PyPDF2 library. For executing `.exe` files on Linux using Wine: 1. Install Wine by following the instructions at https://www.winehq.org. 2. Download Windows compatibility layer packages for specific applications if needed (like wine-staging or winetricks). 3. Run your .exe file with `wine path/to/yourfile.exe`. For removing JS from PDFs in a more manual and interactive way: 1. Open the PDF using any viewer that allows script editing, such as Adobe Acrobat Pro. 2. Manually go through each page to remove JavaScript code blocks if they are present or available for modification. In either case (running .exe files on Linux with Wine), remember this might not always provide full compatibility and there can be limitations due to the inherent differences between Windows applications design, which were originally made in C/C++/Java/Python languages etc., as opposed to UNIX/Linux system programming. It's best practice for software developers or users who have a clear understanding of what they're trying to achieve with such tools. For extracting content from interactive PDFs (without JavaScript), you might want to use PDF text extraction libraries like `pdfminer.six` in Python, but this wouldn't remove the embedded JS; it would only extract and possibly clean up static parts while ignoring or leaving intact any scripts.
