Hello Peter, hi everybody,
there we go. I created 2 equal forms, one with Acrobat 5 (Acrobat PDF Writer), and the other one with Scribus. Each form contains 2 fields, both of them have default values set with JavaScript (Field Properties ->Validate-> Custom Script).
1st field:
this.getField("Titel").value="Test default value";
2nd field:
var f = this.getField("Area");
f.value = "Bla bla bla";
The Acrobat form correctly displays the default values, the Scribus version doesn't.
