Hello everyone. I have a problem regarding the form that I have just created in Adobe Pro. I was building it for a couple of days now. It has some javascript in it. At the beginning I saw the information that there is no way to fill it on Android and iOS. The form will be used by technicians to prepare a report and build a service book (it has javascript that spawns pages). That functionality is very important - that eveyrthing is in one pdf file. Initially there was a plan to buy a tablet with Windows. Now, when I have my form finished in 99% and it is working just great, my director told me to try to find a solution for Android and iOS. I have already tired many different apps on Android and none of them worked. Do you have a solution for this? Is there a way to use forms created in Acrobat Pro with JS on Android of iOS?

    The support of PDF based forms on mobile devices is indeed very limited and not comparable to the desktop versions of Acrobat oder Reader. There's propably nothing you can do about this. On mobile devices the industry is assuming you'll use HTML based forms instead, which are even more niche than the PDF pentants.
