Attachement Rights are among the Reader Enabling Rights that require the LiveCycle ES Rights server. If you don't what they are then your form does not have them. Without this right you cannot add, delete, or modify PDF attachements in Reader.

Thanks Mr thomp for your great response, I actually want to create a shortcut of current opened file on the user defined location by clicking the toolbar button, for this i am using createDataObject and then exporting it to the user defined location. that file will contain the info related to the shortcut and there is a service running in background which will create shortcut by getting the info form that file. all is going well on professional version but same script is not allowed on reader.is there any way to enable it on the reader or if there is any other way to create shortcut through the js.

You cannot create a new Data Object in Reader. That is not possible without special Reader Rights. So basically it's not possible. Reader is very limited in a lot of ways, that's why it's free.
You say you are running a service on the user's system? Can you run a server? Not a full blown web server, I mean can you write a simple HTTP server to put on the user's system. VS.NET has everything in it you need for this. Reader can submit data to a local sever with an HTTP Request. This is about your only option. Becareful though. In general Acrobat doesn't like document communicating with local servers, but it will allow it.
