The script tag allows you to embed JavaScript into the document. The JavaScript is executed when the document is loaded by Acrobat, so this is generally a good place to declare functions and so on.
The XML syntax means that the <, > and & characters are "escaped" even within JavaScript - so you need to edit your scripts to use < > and & instead. A better alternative is to use the CDATA XML declaration to prevent the block from being parsed.
Here's a simple JavaScript function defined in the head of the document.
<pdf> <head> <script> function min(x,y) { return (x < y ? x : y); } </script> </head>
Here's the same function but using the CDATA declaration.
<pdf> <head> <script> <![CDATA[ function min(x,y) { return (x < y ? x : y); } ]]> </script>
