Hello all!

I have a pdf (well several) that contains an image box. Is it possible to use either java script or the action wizard to:

1 - replace the image with the next image in a file,

2 - save the pdf as a new pdf

3 - save the new pdf as a jpeg

4 - repeat indefinitely until all the jpeg have been used and all the pdfs/jpegs have been created?

Would LOVE input!

What do you mean by "the next image in a file", exactly?

JavaScript can't replace images, by the way. It can redact an image (if its location is known in advance, as it can't locate it, either) and then insert a new image using a button field, for example, and flatten it.

sooo....maybe I need to redact the jpeg and insert a new image?

Can I design a script that will do that?

I know where the jpeg(s) are located, but I want to repeat this over and over redacting and inserting a different jpeg each time. Is that even possible?

Only if the location and file-names of the images are known in advance. For example, if you want to import C:\Images\01.jpg into page 1, C:\Images\02.jpg into page 2, etc.

It's very hard to say for sure whether this task can be scripted without seeing the file in question. Can you share it with us?
