Is it possible to embed javascript in a DPF so that when the print action happens it either (a) Closed the PDF which is being printed and deletes the file or (b) Watermarks the PDF and closed Adobe thus saving/overwriting the PDF which was printed?

But your aim, whatever it is, is easily thwarted by the user copying the file first.

... or opening it in just about any PDF viewer other the ones created by Adobe.

A) Close the file: Yes. Delete the file: No.

B) Add a watermark: Yes. Save the file: Only if a special script is installed on the user's local machine. Close Acrobat: No.
