Pro to Reader Issue

Created a button in Pro to extract pages, but the button does not work when a user tries to open it in reader.

I used the following prompt in Javascript: this.extractPages(2,3).

Any suggestions on how to enable a user with Reader to click this button?

    Not even when the button was created in Pro?

    Can you think of another way to do the following:

    I have a file with 35 pages comprised of a variety of forms.  The first page has a list of all the form types and corresponding buttons.  When the user clicks one of the buttons (currently an extract button) for the specific form they need to fill out, it creates the extracted pages in a new document for them to fill out just the form they chose.  This allows them to only save the form they filled out - not all 35 pages.  Long story short, I need a way for the user to only save the pages of the document they filled in on reader.

    This cannot be done in Adobe Reader. It is a limited program. I suggest you upload each page to a web site separately and program the website to give the user the only form they need to use.
