Explore mechanisms for plugging into custom code where needed #87909

The first and most obvious example is PDF transformations. We'll need a way to write custom code in vets-website and connect a Drupal-defined form to that custom code.

Engineer will need to write some transformation - code in repo more than likely and need to figure out how to execute it and tie it to this form.

Need a spike ticket here at some point - to answer a few questions:

is PDF translation currently being done on the client or server side or mix of both?
depending on answer above what are some ways we can tie into custom code.
