I created a pdf document with links to web pages (using a java script command)-

app.launchURL("http://www.atrobushing.com/item/pl1046/",true);

and posted it on our website. However, the links are not active in all browsers. Is there a way to ensure the links are always active in whatever browser they are opened in?

Not an unknown issue.

1. Not all browsers use the Adobe Reader plug-in for viewing PDF.

2. User needs to have JavaScript active, allowed, in Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat. It is not uncommon for corporations or organizations that deploy computers to employees have JavaScript turned off for security reasons.

Not if you're using a script, no. Many browsers use their own PDF plugins and those usually have very little support for JavaScript (and sometimes none at all).
