How do I add a file to multiple PDFs

I have 200 pdf files and I need to add a single page to each of them.

How do I do this?

I am not interested in merging all 200 pdf files together then adding the page to the end...and everything I search for thinks this is what I am asking, it is not.

File A + New Page = File A

File B + New Page = File B

File C + New Page = File C

Etc. I would assume Adobe would have this capablity, if not would be a nice feature to add.

I am not interested in third party tools.

Any suggestions?

I did fail so say I want to do this as a batch process and do all at one time. I know I can open each file and manually add the file to each one save and move to the next. This is not what I am looking for....I want to be able to tell Adobe Arcobat to add a single page to 200 individual files at one time.

Apply the new Action to a folder containing all of your files, it will batch process the folder of 200 pdfs.

Add a "Save" Action to your Insert Pages Action, and turn off "Prompt User" or you will need to say "Yes" for each file.

Not following this....I need a bit more step by step instruction.

Uswing the drop down on combine files..I get this.

This is combining into one pdf which I do NOT want...if this is part of a script I do not know how to write those. So not certain about "applying an action".

Please explain.

You can do it using the Action Wizard in Acrobat Pro. Go to Tools - Action Wizard and create a new Action.

Add to it the Insert Pages command and then select the file. In the Properties dialog select to add it after the last page:

Make sure to untick the "Prompt User" checkbox, as well.

Then add a Save command, and you're done!

You can now run this Action on your files and it will add the file you selected to all of them, as the last page in each file.

Thank you for this suggestion but I want to do all 200 files at the same time as a batch. I do not want to spend an hour manually doing this to each file.

The Action Wizard allows you to do just that...
