Automatically do Acrobat Action

Question

Is there a way to get acrobat to automatically do an action when a document is opened? or better still, is it possible to get an action to occur specifically when I PDF is opened from the Microsoft Word plugin. I'm thinking some sort of boot/launch parameter is those are still a thing?

Any and all help appreciated.

With Acrobat Professional one can add and edit document level scripts.

With Acrobat Standard one can run a script on the page open action but for a multiple pafge document one would need to add some coe to only run the code once.

Reader cannot create any JavaScript action.

With an FDF file it is possible to import document level scripts into Acrobat Professional and Standard and with adding some special scripting to an application folder get Reader to import an FDF file with a document level script.
