Look at the Report object in the Acrobat Javascripting Reference. It may meet your needs for a log file. It has limited formatting options.
Writing files - depending on location, may require a trusted function.

Good Luck

repOff = new Report();
repOff.size = 1.2;
repOff.color = color.black;
repOff.writeText("Thank You");

At this point you can open the Report.
if you want to save it to disk, you will most likely need to write a trusted function to do so.
There are a number of examples of saving files if you search for them.
