            Bug ID: 382859
           Summary: Okular does not execute JavaScript of PDF forms
           Product: okular
           Version: 1.1.0
          Platform: Manjaro
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: PDF backend
          Assignee: okular-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: uwestoehr at lyx.org
  Target Milestone: ---

attachment 106922 [details] is a PDF form I created with the latest pdflatex.
It fulfils the PDF form specification as is used as reference PDF for for the
program LyX. The PDF looks and works fine using Adobe Reader under windows.
Under Linux using Okular 1.1.3 there are several bugs. (attachment 106923
[details] is the TeX source code of the form.)

This report is about executing JavaScript:
- open the PDF and go to sec. 2.4 and there to the 2nd push button
- click the button.

result: nothing happens. The underlying JavaScript code is either not executed
or Okular has overseen that the document contains JavaScript. Adobe Reader
executes it correctly and shows the defined message about a fridge.
Since I cannot find a setting in the Okular preferences to block JavaScript I
guess it is a bug.

If it is not a bug but a missing feature Okular should warn the user that he
cannot completely use the form. Many PDF forms from e.g. federal administration
use JavaScript for hits and explanations about the different form fields.
