Version number: 2021-06-11
License type: lppl1.2
Summary description: Use the Acrobat JavaScript API
Announcement text:
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 D. P. Story
