What would be the best way to automate with JS for changing a specific layer in PDF to have is Print Initial State to «Never Print»? Is it possible?

The print setting, as well as many other OCG properties cannot be accessed from JavaScript.

Whenever I have to do a task like this I write a simple plug-in to perform the single task. Usually using JavaScript parameters. Then activate the plug-in from my script with a menu item. In fact I wrote a plug-in for modifying several OCG parameters that are not available from the Acrobat UI. You'll find it here (along with lots of other cool stuff): www.pdfscripting.com

Appreciate it . We can also create a custom plug-in for your specific purpose.
