I have embedded a simple JavaScript (app.alert messagebox) in a PDF using Didier Stevens pdf-tools.

Then I open that PDF in Firefox in Linux and the Javascript is not executed. The messagebox is not shown.

If I open the same PDF in Windows the Javascript is executed correctly and the messagebox is shown.

Any ideas?
