In some pdf file readers for MS Windows such as those from Adobe or Foxit, it is possible to turn off the ability to implement javascript in a pdf file. Is that possible with Evince (Document Viewer) 3.2.1? I don't see any option to do so.

Or, is it that Evince does not implement javascript in pdf files at all?

Essentially, it doesn't support it, so you can't turn it off.

I also searched the net and came across a Nabble thread (old.nabble.com/…) to the same effect with the mention that the team is looking at supporting javascript – vasa1 Nov 14 '11 at 5:53

There is a bug report on this on bugzilla.
It is classified as Normal Enhancement.
Unfortunately I have no clue if they are actively working on it or not..
