Validate PDF forms on Android with JavaScript

Nutrient has some support for executing JavaScript attached to a document, annotations, or forms. For more general information about Nutrient’s JavaScript support, see our PDF JavaScript support guide.

Most form validation scripts should work out of the box, but we’re constantly working on improving the engine and increasing our coverage of the PDF specification’s support for JavaScript.
