PDF Contact sheet with checkboxes

Question

Hi,I created a contact sheet with Photoshop or Lightroom . I know the number of images, row&columns and their spacing.How can I create a script which will add check-boxes under each image?The pdf may contain several pages and one of the inputs i will enter to the script is the number of images, row x col + desired spacing of the images.The purpose is to send it to client and have them select their preferred images, save the doc and send it back to me.I have some experience with Photoshop scripting and hope it is not very much different.Thank you

could you provide a simple script which does the following:

1. open a documet

2. add a from item, e.g. checkbox anywhere

3. close the doc

Thank you

As mentioned, the only part you need to script is adding the fields. That can be done using the addField method of the Document object.

This can be achieved using a script in Acrobat, but it's not a very simple task for someone without any experience in Acrobat JS at all.

Basically, I would create the check-boxes by hand and then gather their location details (the rect property) and then use a loop to add them to the rest of the pages. It's possible to calculate how many rows and columns to add based on the user's input, which can be gathered using the app.response method.
