Adobe Reader 8.1.0 applescript suppport broken

I am trying to get some basic scripting done and need 3rd party verification.

Adobe Reader 8.1.0 has a dictionary and appears scriptable. However  I am unable to get any commands to work.

In particular i am interested in the " do script " command which allows _javascript_ calls. 

But verification of any command would be helpful.

I am sure that acrobat professional might work but for now the functionality I need would appear to be within the grasp of reader's impressive dictionary.

So can anyone verify if Adobe Reader 8.10 applescript support is broken or not ?

If  reader works can you post syntax that worked for you ? Please ?

thanks 

Stimpy

My system 10.4.9 intel Mac book pro

some non-working code

set the_script to "this.document.baseURL"
tell application "Adobe Reader"
set the_base_url to (do script the_script)
end tell



set the_script to "getSelection()"
tell application "Adobe Reader"
set contentsTxt to (do script the_script)
end tell

tell application "Adobe Reader"
set the_base_url to (properties of application) as list
end tell
