Specify author name for annotations when opening Adobe Reader

Question

Hi !
I need to specify the author name (for annotations) programatically each time I open Adobe Reader from my application. Is that possible and if yes, how ?
Here is how I open Adobe Reader in my application :
try {
  Intent intent = new Intent();
  intent.setClassName("com.adobe.reader", "com.adobe.reader.AdobeReader");
  intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
  intent.setDataAndType(Uri.fromFile(doc), "application/pdf");
  startActivity(intent);
catch (ActivityNotFoundException activityNotFoundException) {
  activityNotFoundException.printStackTrace();
If not possible, where does Adobe Reader stores its parameters ? Maybe I can change them before opening it ?
Thanks in advance for your help !

The application I'm developping needs to be able to allow its users to open existing pdf files and annotate them with the username they've given when logging into the application. Unfortunately, I've not found any satisfying library to edit existing pdf files on Android nor in AIR for Android. I'm thus trying to call Adobe Reader from my application (this I can do) and set the author name for annotations...
I've found that Adobe Reader stores the author name in /data/data/com.adobe.reader/shared_prefs/com.adobe.reader.preferences.xml
Knowing that my application will run on rooted Android tabs, do you think it would be posssible to modify this file each time before launching Adobe Reader from my application (could be a dirty workaround but still a workaround) ?
