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.
