Acrobat 8 setItems() method in Adobe Reader

Upon adding Usage Rights to a PDF form in Acrobat Pro 8, the setItems() method doesn't appear to be supported in using Adobe Reader. For a moment, I was hoping that it might be included when adding Usage Rights to a PDF in Acrobat 8 but I guess not. As such, what options might I have (short of spending an arm and a leg) just to add this one method to my already available Usage Rights using Acrobat 8? Thank you ahead of time.

There is an example file in this article:

that uses the field.setItems() function. I enabled it for Usage Rights in Acrobat 8 Pro. Both versions, the original file and the eanbled file, worked the same in Reader 8. There was no problem with the setItems() function.
