Comment 1 Emmanuel Fleury 2009-11-13 17:47:00 UTC 
Confirmed on Evince 2.29.1 (git master) and Poppler 0.12.0 (git master).
Comment 2 Germán Poo-Caamaño 2012-09-14 00:32:28 UTC 
I tested it with poppler from git and evince wip/annotation_support; and it is not unknown anymore :-)

** (evince:7824): WARNING **: Unimplemented action: POPPLER_ACTION_JAVASCRIPT, please post a bug report in Evince bugzilla (http://bugzilla.gnome.org) with a testcase.

So, I updated the summary.

Comment 8 Germán Poo-Caamaño 2013-02-13 23:36:48 UTC 
Some documents use Javascript to link external links, as poppler does not have support for Javascript (yet).

New York State 2016 Income Tax Form

I'm attaching a real-world example document that triggers this warning message.

It was fetched on 2017-04-09 from https://www.tax.ny.gov/pdf/current_forms/it/it201_fill_in_2d.pdf

Under evince, the first page shows up as a yellow sheet with the text "WARNING: PLEASE USE A DIFFERENT PDF VIEWER" and contains instructions directing the user to download Adobe® Reader.
