Acrobat Reader & Mobile Devices Inquiry

I was just wondering if perhaps Adobe might be persuaded to update their PDF Reader to support the same Acrobat properties and methods on mobile devices as they do on desktop/laptop PCs if they were to receive a sufficient number of requests from those in the Adobe Support Community namely, those who use Acrobat for designing/developing interactive PDF forms. Do you think Adobe might possibly consider a PDF Reader update for mobile devices or do you believe such a request would be ignored? Thank you ahead of time.

No amount of requests in this community will amount to a bean. But I encourage you to add it to the wish list. https://www.adobe.com/products/wishform.html Please check carefully if there is already a request, as it may dilute the request to add more. Please post a link so many more can vote for this highly desirable thing.


Of course, some methods can't even exist in the limited mobile environment, but that's another story. And where would you put a startup script, given the lack of a filesystem...

In answer to 'Of course, some methods can't even exist in the limited mobile environment, but that's another story. And where would you put a startup script, given the lack of a filesystem... ' Good points. In reality, I didn't bother to think about that b4 I started this thread. I guess I am just so used to designing/developing interactive PDF forms for desktop/laptop PCs (primarily business forms that really do not lend themselves to being be previewed/completed on a mobile device) that I didn't give this a second thought. This noted I believe I'll have to decide whether it's worth posting a link regarding this subject matter especially if there already exists a similar request. Thanks for the reply.
