How to place a png image on multiple pages in different areas

[Pricoky]

Hi there community! I have this question for you, on which I don't seem to find any answer on this forum or I just don't know what to search for.

I work at this office and one of the newest requests just gives me the headaches.

I have these files in PNG(with no background) format and a PDF file as a template. Let's say the .PDF file has around 14 pages and I have to place a PNG file in a different area of each page. For now I'm just using the edit option on the PDF and copy/paste the PNG file on each page manually placing it in the area I need it to be but these seems to last a bit too long.

Is there a way to create, I don't know, some kind of a predefined area on each page then load the PNG file just once to automatically be placed in that area?

Yes, using a button field with the image as its icon, also known as an "image field" in Acrobat DC.

Thank you! This seems to be the solution. But do you have any idea how should I duplicate this field on each page so when I load the image in the first one the others should update to the same image?  I can't seem to resolve that!

That's the easiest part! After creating the field and adding a MouseUp to it with the code to select an image for it, you simply right-click it (in Prepare Form mode) and select Duplicate Across Pages. That will create exact copies of it on the selected pages, and when you change its icon, those copies will change as well.

If you do it using a script it will work like that. It doesn't work when you change the image via the button properties, though.

THANK YOU GUYS! It works flawless! And when you think I've created somewhere around 100 PDF files using the "add image" manually on every single page
