Oh, great. How on earth am I ever going to find this? I've already checked the dictionaries of all the obvious candidates, and have not come across a property called "input volume". 

Is there any sort of tool for ferreting this kind of thing out?

Script Debugger does. It's called "Manifest". In the File menu. But it needs the actual command, not just a property. If I type 'input volume' into a script in SD with no tell block, it does compile.   'input volume' is a property of 'volume settings' in Standard Additions, built into every Mac.  When I check for its raw code, it shows «property invl».

I don't have Acrobat Pro. Can you check in Script Debugger or Smile (free) if it uses that same raw code «property invl» for 'value'?

Doesn't Apple maintain some kind of registry to prevent this kind of BS? 

No.
