Question

Is this doable using the Acrobat SDK? If so, how do I do it?

I am quite new to using the acrobat SDK, so I am wondering what might be the solution here. I have a website and a database that tracks the status of individual published documents, and things obviously change over time and they were made legacy. Is it possible that I dynamically add a watermark with some text saying "Legacy" or something along those lines by dynamically manipulating the file on a client side script based on say, a js array query pulled from the db?

No, not possible. JS in PDF files can't access a database.

But if I have a site that can access a db, and use that site to pull the pdf file and manipulate it, is that possible?

That would be a server side solution. Acrobat is not suitable or licensed for server use, so that's out.
