Hi!

I need to create a program, script or something similar to be able to fill many PDF files form fields on Windows.

Text fields are very easy to manage in many languages, instead an image field is more complicated when you need to put inside a PDF file and not an image (PNG, JPG and so on). I tried many third party libraries without success.

How can I achieve this? I can use vbs or other programming languages without problems. What I searching is an hint and some examples to find the right solution.

Thank you.

You can use JavaScript to do it. Read the documentation of the buttonImportIcon method of the Field object.

But is it possibile to execute javascript from outside the document via command line? I can't find examples about this.

Acrobat can't be automated via the command-line. The solution you need is a stand-alone tool.

Contact me privately via [try6767 at gmail.com]. I might be able to help you with this privately (for a fee, of course).
