I've just installed the Linux version of Acroread 5.0.5 and I'm finding that document-level javascripts are not activated when I open a PDF file from the command line.  For instance, the calculator from http://www.codecuts.com/mainpage.asp?webpageid=456 <http://www.codecuts.com/mainpage.asp?webpageid=456> fails to work when launched using: 

linux-prompt> acroread calc.pdf 

But its javascripts are activated when I lauch Acroread 5.0.5 without a file and  then suck in calc.pdf using the Ctrl-O  selection mechanism. It also works if I type: 

linux-prompt>acroread & 

linux-prompt>acroread calc.pdf 

Is this behaviour a bug, or is something wrong with my setup?
