The problem with this approach is that it _requires_ Acrobat 6. And so far, this is not really the version of choice for serious forms work...
But, it is indeed a good approach.
Another approach would be creating an FDF using the /JavaScript function with the /Doc setting, and then add the according script. This might even open the door for more elaborate environments, as such an FDF could be created from a database on demand... This approach works with Acrobat 5 and newer, and would also be batchable.
Hope, this can help.

You could create an Acrobat Batch Sequence that would allow you to insert your document level JavaScripts across a number of files (or even just select a folder of PDFs to run the Sequence across).
The JavaScript method you need to use for this is doc.addScript() -- you can find details on this in the Acrobat JavaScript Reference. There is an example on setting up a Batch Sequence here:
