Access issue: doc.importdataobject("myPDF","/c/temp/outfile.pdf");

Question

Hi,
I have a pdf created in livecycle designer es 8.2 and coded in Javascript. Currently this pdf is placed in the shared location from where users can access. When users hit the submit button then PDFCreator installed on user's machine creates a scanned pdf and place it on the local machine. This scan pdf is then embedded into the main pdf using privileged JavaScript function (doc.importdataobject("myPDF","/c/temp/outfile.pdf");).
Now, I want to place the main pdf on the server so that user can access the pdf using URL.
When user access the pdf using URL and hit the submit button, it's creating scan pdf on the user machine, but it's failing on the import statement -doc.importdataobject("myPDF","/c/temp/outfile.pdf");.
I am not sure whether this is access issue or I need to do something else.
The path /c/temp/outfile.pdf must be local machine path but I am assuming import statement is looking on server directory.
If I remove the path from the import statement, it pops up a dialog box for browse. After selecting the outfile.pdf it works fine. But I can't ask users to follow this process.

Please help.

What this in effect means is that if you want to use this command from a button and specify the cDIPath parameter it has to call a script in a trusted context, like one that is installed on the user's local machine. Otherwise you can't specify it yourself, but the user will need to select it manually.
I have written import statement in a trusted javascript function and placed it on the user machine under the following location:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat\Javascripts
Function:
var myReadDoc = app.trustedFunction(function(doc,thepath) {
app.beginPriv();
var mynewname = "testing123";
var thedoc = doc.importDataObject(mynewname,"C:\\TEMP\\print\\OUTFILE.pdf");
console.println("status of the import is :" + thedoc);
console.println("Dumping all data objects in the document.");
var stat = "good";
if (thedoc == true) {
          try{
    var d = doc.dataObjects;
  for (var i = 0; i < d.length; i++)
   console.println("DataObject[" + i + "]=" + d[i].name);
           }catch(e){
            stat = "Bad";
if (thedoc == false) {
           stat = "Bad";
app.endPriv();
        return(stat);
