The "SaveAs" menu item is restricted when used in Reader, however, it should work to save a blank copy of the file, after the file is completely loaded into Acrobat. Try placing the script into the page open event of the first page in the PDF. I don't know if this will work, it's just an idea.

You have another problem, in Acrobat 8, this won't work at all. So your PDF is only good for Acrobat 7 and earlier.

From a document design point of view, this is a bad idea. It makes you're PDF very difficult to use.
