PDFs mostly fulfill this.

I'm aware they can have scripts and such, but people expect PDFs to be static documents and not applications.

They really don't, since they don't reflow. Viewing a PDF paper on a phone, for example, is a nightmare because you have to zoom in and out and pan around to even be able to read the text.
