Importing (or exporting) data transparently from the local file system is a privileged operation. So you need to create a privileged context for your code. There are two ways to do this.

1. Put the import code into a trusted folder level function, then call the function from your form.
2. Certify the PDF with a digital signature/certificate that is registered on the system where the form is used.
