I once wrote a contract document in PostScript that changed the wording based on the date. Two parties could cryptographically sign an agreement in the document, which would change when printed on a later date.

One of the reasons we don’t use PostScript so much any more.

Isn't PDF also programmable? I think it supports javascript and even a subset of PostScript if I'm not mistaken.
