Question

Add a PDF to every other page of an existing PDF

Hello,

      I have 2 PDFs that I am trying to merge with a exact order.

First PDF is about 1800 pages (call it PDF A), and the second is just one page (PDF B).

I would like to insert PDF B into every other page of PDF A

Example:

Page 1 of PDF A

PDF B

Page 2 of PDF A

PDF B

Page 3 of PDF A

PDF B

Etc....

I found the insert command in Acrobat Pro, but that just runs once. Wondering if there is a way to do that in bulk.

Thank you,

With Acrobat Pro one can create an Action, Batch Process, to do this.

It is also possible to create a JavaScript action that can be run from the JavaScript console using JavaScript.

My ears are ringing... :-)

You can do it using this tool I've developed: Custom-made Adobe Scripts: Acrobat -- Insert One PDF File Into Another Multiple Times

This did not work, it inserted every page of the other document after the first page.
