IF you have no means to generate or append an FDF
file automatically outside Acrobat then this JavaScript
from FDF method is not a viable option.
An alternative is to delay the document level javascript
for a specific time interval after the PDF opens or some
user intervention to run the Javascript post FDF import.
You might simply use a setInterval() method that calls
the JavaScript after 5 seconds
run = app.setInterval("YourJavaScript()", 5000)
see the JavaScript User Guide for details...

question about this.

> Whatever we do with this will have to be limited to whatever we can do in
plain Adobe JavaScript that we write in the Adobe Acrobat interface. Our
documents are downloaded from the web browser and viewed in the browser with
Acrobat Reader. We also have operations in the document which generate and
route FDF files through email, which then routes the receiving user back
into the document through the browser and Acrobat Reader.

JavaScript without using native code?
