Is there a way to programatically pull the password from the database rather than typing it manually during encryption?

New Here ,

As per  the title:

  1. Is there a way for Adobe Acrobat (regardless of pro or not pro) to programmatically pull the password from the database rather than typing it manually during encryption?
  2. In addition, is there an API/function/library to trigger on-demand encryption?
    1. The initial answer is no, but is there any alternative way?
  3. If no, what are the alternatives, or how can I achieve this? I am open to any of Adobe products.

To get more context of the questions, I've posted introductory questions in the PDFforum, basically what I want to achieve: How do I automate PDF encryption for multiple PDF files using Adobe Acrobat Pro?

You can certainly write a custom plugin to Acrobat that would pull the password and supply it during your own UX for encryption. That same plugin can trigger encryption anytime that it wants.
