I could not find a solution that exactly matched your requirements. Hope the following helps you.

  • PDFedit - http://pdfedit.cz/en/index.html

    PDFedit is a free open source PDF editor and library for manipulating PDF documents released under the GNU GPL version 2. It includes a PDF library that manages an xpdf-based library, GUI, a set of command line tools, and a pdf editor.

    PS The PDFedit documentation mentions script support, but does not explicitly mention Acrobat scripts.

  • Multi-Platform PDF Editors - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_PDF_software#Editors

  • Unix and Linux PDF editors - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_PDF_software#Editors_2

  • Acrobat JavaScript Console (Windows) - http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/javascript_console

    The Acrobat JavaScript console window (aka console window) is one of the tools included in the Acrobat JavaScript debugger. The console window is the most useful tool in Adobe Acrobat for testing and debugging JavaScript code, but it is more than just a utility for testing code. It can also execute code snippets to automate tasks in Acrobat and analyze documents. In this article, setting up a roof lid and using this important tool.

If you are really desperate, you can open the .pdf file with a text editor. Throughout the text, you will find a Javascript field that you can edit and then save. This is a pain, but you can, of course, make small changes to the code this way.

Be sure to make a copy of the original .pdf file as an archive before trying to edit it, of course.
