Adding permissions to allow users to append pdf at the end of a form

If the users are using Acrobat Professional, a automation script can be written to handle this. Please take a look at the Acrobat JavaScript Reference. The relevant functions are "app.browseForDoc()", "doc.insertPages()", and "doc.importDataObject()"
 
Ideally this form should be usable by users running Acrobat reader 7 or 8 or Acrobat standard. Will users with those products be able to run this scri pt? Can I add special permissions to the form to allow this?

The insertPages function is not availalbe in Reader. But, if the doucment has embedding rights, files can be imported into the PDF with JavaScript. Embedding rights are not in the Reader Rights provided by Acrobat 8. The LiveCycle servers are required for this one.
