Printing to pdf with a predefined background

Question

I am using Acrobat 10.1.16 in Windows 7 environment.

Does this version of Acrobat support profiles in which I can save a background (a pdf file) to be inserted when I print to a pdf?

Or can I specify a background at print time?

Thank you.

To answer your first question, no, there is no way to cause a background to be automatically inserted when you create PDF by printing to PDF (i.e., the Adobe PDF PostScript driver instance).If you are willing to add a background after the PDF file has been created, then Doug Hanna's device is spot on! - Dov

To start off, you need Acrobat Pro.My suggestion would be to create an Action that attaches a watermark as a background then launches the Print dialog.Files to be Processed - The currently open fileUnder the 'Pages' section - Add a Background. You can either 'hard-code' a background file or ask that the user select it at run time.Then - Print.While this is for XI, the below info will work just fine for X.http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/products/acrobat/pdfs/adobe-acrobat-xi-use-action-wizard-tutorial-ie.pdf If you need more functionality beyond what's capable with Actions you can add some JavaScript - JavaScript for Acrobat | Adobe Developer Connection I hope this helps.Doug
