I just wrote a JavaScript to rotate pages for my pdf, but it only works in this pdf (used the Advanced/JavaScript/Set Document Option). Is there a way to save it and run it externally so I can generalize the file name and run on my pdfs each time I create it?

Folder level scripts are cross platform. These are "*.js" files that are on the users systems in a specific folder location. They work the same way on Macs that they do on Windows, except that the folder location is different on the different platforms. These types of scripts are used to create Acrobat automation tools, which is exactly what you need.
You'll find more info in this article (and others on this site):

The example in that article creates a menu item to active the script. But you can also create custom toolbar buttons, as shown in this article:

In fact I wrote a tool for creating Acrobat JavaScript toolbar buttons, [url=http://www.windjack.com/products/acrobuttons.php]AcroButtons[/url].
You'll also find serveral free automation tools, with buttons, at the pdfscripting.com site listed below.
