Dear All,

I need to add hundred Watermark in one PDF File and save each watermark pdf with each name. I have a text file which includes the watermarks.
I already see the java script function but I don´t find much information I need. I found this piece of code and even not able to transform in my requirements - see

this.addWatermarkFromText({

cText: "Text",

nTextAlign:app.constants.align.center,

cFont: "Helvetica-Bold",

nFontSize:36,

aColor: color.red,

nStart: this.pageNum,

nOpacity: 0.5

});

Anyone knows who to find a solution for this ?

Thank you very much

You need to better explain what you want to achieve. Do you have a list of PDF file with a watermark for each one that you want to add, or do you have a single PDF that you want to add multiple watermarks to, saving it under a different name each time?
Also, what version of Acrobat do you have?

I will try to explain - I have a pdf file and a text or csv file with 100 names - I need each name as a watermark in a separate pdf file. So as a result I have 100 pdf, saved as a new pdf with the name from the text file.

I have Adobe Acrobat DC 2015

Thank you

OK, you will need to write a script that reads in the text file (you can use the readFileIntoStream method of the util object), and then adds the watermark to the file, saves it, and then closes and re-opens it. Alternatively, you can use a text field, which makes things much easier, as you don't have to re-open the file after each import. It does have more limited appearance properties, though. For example, it can't be rotated.

I've developed (paid-for) tools that can do either one of these tasks.

If you want to use form fields:

If you want to do it with a watermark:
