Insert a cover letter to multiple pdf documents at once

[Lisa5FB2]

I am sending invoices to customers (~250 separate pdf files), and would like to add the same cover letter to the front of each pdf.  Is there a way to do this without having to open each file separately, drag in the letter and resave each of them?

If you have Acrobat Pro you can do it using an Action.

I have figured out the action to automatically add a page to individual files, but I am not sure how to use an action on multiple pdfs at once.   My action right now requires me to open each of the 250 files and run the action then save.

Do you have Acrobat Pro?

Yes I have Pro

Then you can do it using an Action, via Tools - Action Wizard.
Add to it an Insert Pages command and a Save command and then run it on
your files.
Just make sure to un-tick the "Prompt User" box if it appears under those
commands.

I'm doing this exact Action under Guided Actions. I've un-ticked the "Prompt User" box, but I think that box was whether you wanted to be prompted to pick a file each time. I don't so, it's blank. But after the new page is inserted, I'm asked if I want to save that file before doing the next one. Of course I want to save it and I also don't want to click yes 200 times. How do I get that question eliminated?

Edit the Action to include Save and (possibly) Close.

Thanks. I figured it out about 2 minutes after hitting "post" and exposing myself to the world. Ms Jane, I appreciate you just answering and not making fun. 🙂

I've done the same thing so many times — figured something out after asking the question. I'm glad you have it sorted now! 😊

Closing is done automatically by the Action.
