docassembly 
Dated: 2021-06-11
Author: D. P. Story

Targeted audience: LaTeX authors who love their pdflatex, lualtex, 
xelatex, or dvips -> ps2pdf workflow, who also own Acrobat Pro 
application. 

The docassembly package defines the docassembly environment in 
which JavaScript code can be written to execute once and only once the 
newly created PDF in the Acrobat application. The package also defines a 
series of helper commands to execute security restricted JavaScript 
methods. Using these security restricted commands, you can place 
watermarks on the document, attached files, import icons and sounds, 
insert pages, extract pages, send email, and so on. All these methods I 
have used for years through the aeb_pro package, which generally 
restricted to a dvips -> distiller workflow. Now, these methods are 
available to all those who own Acrobat, no matter what PDF
