Does this script work on Acrobat Reader on a PC?

I'm using this script,

event.target.buttonImportIcon();

today I tried to use the form on a PC opening it with Reader X. I created the form on a Mac using Acrobat Pro. So, when I clicked on the button running the script, it didn't do anything. When I opened the same form on my Mac using the Reader X the script ran fine.

My question is, will this script work on the PC using Reader X or Reader DC? I would just like to understand and what to think. Can someone please let me know? Thanks, guys.

The button ImportIcon method doesn't work with Reader X. It does work with Reader 11 (XI) and DC, but it only allows importing a page from a PDF, not any of the other file formats that Acrobat supports.
