PDFClerk Pro is largely, but not fully scriptable with Applescript (and Ruby, and Python using the appropriate scripting bridges). Scripters should consult the PDFClerk Pro scripting dictionary to inform themselves of its scripting capabilities.
Documents and imposition templates are mostly scriptable. Watermarks are not yet scriptable although this is likely to follow in a later release.
Some sample scripts:
tell application "PDFClerk Pro"
tell document 1
select from character 2501 through character 3400
strike through selection
select occurrences of "good"
underline selection with color {35535, 35000, 65535}
tell page 2
select occurrences of "fantastic"
highlight selection
end tell
set x to every page whose unstyled text body contains "some text"
end tell
end tell
