I think that the bug still exists in Okular 1.1.3 because PDF form support seems to be in general broken: wrong display of the elements, no JavaScript, resetting of the form fields does not work ...

Thank you. However, the bug still exists in Okular 1.1.3 for me: no calculation is performed.
> Please stop spreading wrong news, JavaScript works fine I don't spread wrong this, JavaScript does not work for me and therefore I reported it today as bug: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=382859 If you have a PDF in which JavaScript works, please attach there that I could have a look why it doesn't work for me. While working on https://phabricator.kde.org/T7805 I also looked at the file here it seems to do something to calculate the last sum that is not handled by poppler. If I use popplers/util/pdfinfo -js I don't get the JavaScript returned that contains the calculate call. So Okular does not even evaluate it. Using pdfextract from the origami-pdf package i can extract the JavaScript though and it uses AFSimple_Calculate. But I don't see where the JavaScript is added. It does not appear to be in a calculate action, otherwise poppler would extract it. Also if I try to edit the PDF in Adobe Acrobat Pro it tells me that the document uses "advanced features" which are not supported by Acrobat Pro. So as far as I understand it, while above mentioned Task would fix the calculation in theory, it does not fix this issue as the JavaScript for the calculation is injected in a way that poppler / okular don't extract. Yet. |
