Question

Scripting Help.. Automate PDF Texts Fields and inserting Pages

  • March 8, 2024

Hello everyone!
I'm hoping to automate a few tasks in Adobe; just checking if the following is possible.
 
I currently have a PDF form that requires me to fill out specific part numbers and the description that goes with that part number in a separate column.
I was hoping it would be possible to automate the text boxes so that the description field fills itself out automatically when a specific part number is entered.
Then, in an ideal world, is there a method for Adobe to automatically add a Datasheet—another PDF document—as a new page to the document whenever the part number is entered?
 
As previously stated, I'm just trying to gauge whether it's feasible or whether I'm dreaming!!.
 
Cheers

    For the first part, it's possible with a script.

    For inserting document, is it one page more pages, and is it always the same document?

    If it's the same page, for example, you can create a template and spawn the template when needed.

    Hi Nesa

    Thanks for the reply!

     

    90% of the pages would be single pages documents but there could be 2 pages documents 

    Each part number is tied to the same page if that's what your reffering to 

     

    For example 

    If i type CODE:001 it would insert the same PDF everytime but if i type CODE:002 it would insert a different PDF

    You can create template from those documents and then spawn template/s depending on your code.
