Hi All,

I created a fillable form on microsoft but as soon as it's opened on an iPad the "javascript" used for displays and calculations are not working. Where can the problem be?

Apple and Google have killed Flash Player and also don't want to see (free) interactive PDFs that could replace (paid) Apps overshadow their App Stores.

As a result, JavaScript support in mobile apps is reduced to its strict minimum.

For example, Acrobat's "desktop" JavaScript documentation contains more than 800 pages, while that of the mobile version contains barely 60.

I'm getting that picture. I tried downloading one of the Adobe IOS apps. My forms are going out to several hundred parents of four and five year olds. While this generation is pretty computer savvy, integrating this with the workflow is so convoluted that I can't imagine anyone doing it.

It's really a shame.

", integrating this with the workflow is so convoluted that I can't imagine anyone doing it." Good call. The days when we needed PDF forms are largely gone. Use HTML forms.

I am having the same problem. My form, which contains lots of Javascript, works fine on my desktop but doesn't even begin to work in my iPad. I've had other reports from the field. Is there a way to deal with this?
