This is solely an Acrobat issue. AFAIK, you can not make any changes to the user settings in Acrobat at the FM end when creating the output. Even if you are able to create a script, the user may have (as is currently recommended) Javascript disabled in Acrobat, so this won't alter the settings either.

What are you trying to do?

The http:\\... text should not be shown as link when I open a pdf file. To achieve this I am trying to write a script in the document level scripting in Acrobat Pro.

For example if we disable the create links from URLs option which is available in general preference we can achieve what I need, but it is a manual process. I need to achieve this task through the script.

Sorry for the bad English.
