Is it possible to create script which will read some values from pdf and based on that, open specific psd, renameit and save with a new name? For example I have an Job_order.pdf. I need to read this values from pdf and to open Template_S1.psd and to save psd with name Simple_name_version_1.psd

P.S. I created an extension in PS 2020 if that can be useful for this issue 🙂

Acrobat Reader has no external scripting interface. Acrobat Pro does have such an interface, but you could not control it from a single script in either app. You'd need an external app to manage this. Acrobat development described in Acrobat SDK.

Ok, if I make that app successfully, do you know, is it possible to trigger that app across the ps extension?

I'm not sure if BridgeTalk can be used to communicate between Photoshop and Acrobat Reader via scripting, but for sure both applications can be handled by javascript.
