Mobile devices are not the same as desktop or laptop computers and their apps do not do all the things that full computer versions of Acrobat or Adobe Reader. Have you checked the documentation for the Acrobat Mobile apps.

JavaScript APIs and Forms

It looks like Acrobat Mobile Reader support form fields only, no document level actions, no file JavaScript.
