Add acrobat javascript to pdf documents in ruby or python

Question

I want to add some Acrobat JavaScript to a pdf file. I have seen some answers which suggest using iText but I am looking for a solution in either ruby or python. I looked at the HexaPdf but could not find any mention of Javascript.

What you are looking for is a library that either supports the "Additional Actions" property of fields or will allow you to create arbitrary COS dictionaries so you can add AAs the brute force way. I don't see that capability in HexaPDF. In my experience, you'll find that the PDF tools that are Java or C++ based tend to be more comprehensive than anything in ruby or python. — joelgeraci

The Adobe PDF Library, is a C++ library available through Datalogics is a library capable of creating COS dictionaries that you could use. — joelgeraci

I ended up using pdfbox, which is a JAVA based pdf library.
