Hi there,
What about achieving what you want using Acrobat Javascript?

You could use the ‘addWatermarkFromFile’ or ‘addWatermarkFromText’ document methods.
Have a look at the Acrobat JavaScript Scripting Reference there are some examples in there.
Put your code in a text file and trigger it like this:-

set z to "pathToFile:myscript.txt" as alias
tell application "Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional"
       try
           do script file z
       on error e
           beep
           return e
       end try
end tell

HTH
