How can I configure Acrobat so that it runs a Acrobat Javascript script whenever a PDF is opened in Acrobat?

I wrote an Acrobat Javascript script. How can I configure Acrobat so that it runs a Acrobat Javascript script whenever a PDF is opened in Acrobat?


What have you tried?

I looked around in the Acrobat menu.

What make you believe it is possible?

That'd make sense to be able to configure Acrobat so that it runs a Acrobat Javascript script whenever a PDF is opened in Acrobat.

Have you inserted your script into a PDF?

No, this is an Acrobat Javascript script. This has nothing to do with inserting JavaScript within a PDF file.

Go to Tools>JavaScript>Document JavaScripts and add your Acrobat Javascript script there. They should run at open. If you need to make sure that the PDF is fully loaded before the Acrobat Javascript script starts to execute, you can amend your Acrobat Javascript script accordingly.
