Poppler does not have javascript support by itself. I don't know if everything 
is properly exposed in the glib frontend to make things work, but at least on 
the Qt side, it is the responsibility of the application to bring a javascript 
engine and do the relevant actions. Okular has support for this.

I don't know if Evince has support for this.
