Here's a link that covers how to enter a document-level script, which will work for single or multipage forms: https://www.pdfscripting.com/public/Document-Level-Scripts.cfm

Go to the section "Entering/Editing Document Scripts" to see how to enter one. When you add a new one, Acrobat will supply an empty function, which you should delete and then enter the code I showed earlier. You would of course add your own text. When you save the document, close it, and reopen, it will display the message, and clicking the OK button will close the message window.

Do you want the info window to be displayed each time the document is opened, or something else? If it's a single page form, the simplest is probably to use the following JavaScript in the Page Open event:

// Page Open JavaScript
app.alert("Info text goes here.\r\rThis is a new line.", 3, 0);

For multi-page forms, you'd place the code in a document-level JavaScript that executes when the form is opened. Post again if you need help with that.
