Does a user need Acrobat Pro to have Javascripts run properly?

New Here ,

I have built a form for my company that needs to be filled out by users who do not have Adobe Pro Licenses. In this form, I have written javascript for text boxes so there is a pop-up to auto-fill in these text boxes. I had someone test it out on a tablet to see if this would work for them, however, the popups did not appear on his end. Is this because the user did not have an Adobe Pro License or is it because it is being run on a tablet and not a computer?

The latter. Most scripts won't work on mobile devices, unfortunately.
