I think the reportlab program is a bit overkill not to mention the huge learning curve. I have used the port /usr/port/print/pdftk with some success to insert watermarks, merge files and rotate the pages. Nothing beats the real thing when working with PDF files and while Adobe Acrobat Professional is not cheap, if your doing real work it's worth the investment.
