No one has been able to propose a solution to my original post (see below)
using vba thus far, and I have come across some possible solutions using
javascript that I would like to explore. Obviously, if there was a vba
native method I would far prefer it!

If Acrobat reader is COM-compliant, chances are you can do what you want in
VBA. However, I do not know of good resources on programmatically working
with Acrobat Reader via VBA. I'd start with the Adobe site, but my guess is
that you already looked there.
I seem to recall, vaguely, discussions of a way to run vbscript from Access
so it could be used as a scripting language (because you'd need a very
widely-distributed commercial app to justify the cost of licensing VBA
itself), but for the life of me, I can't focus my memory any more than that.
Perhaps some searching on that combination, and/or Windows Scripting Host
might find the data you need.
Of course, with luck, you'll turn up someone who has the answer in one of
these newsgroups. Did you, by the way, search the archives of the USENET
newsgroup comp.databases.ms-access at Google Groups... if I were looking for
that old discussion, it's one of the places I'd search.
