We (and poppler) have a very limited javascript support. This is a metabug I'll use to link all the other javascript bugs here.

The pdf viewer mupdf (mupdf.com) has javascript support using the V8 and JavaScriptCore interpreters. They have also built their own MuJS interpreter (mujs.com). I hope we can use one of these interpreters for okular.

well we have Qt, which has webkit’s JavaScriptCore already embedded, so we don’t need more JS runtimes.

unless this has to be implemented in poppler because the JS API would need access to some non-public poppler API, i’d say that one should be used.
