I have 1000 similar documents that all need to be signed in the same location on the document on page 1. Is it possible to do so by scripting in Adobe without having to individually open sign and save the document?
Adobe Acrobat Pro. Same location on the same page in all files and digital signature.
Adobe Acrobat Pro DC

Then you can use an Action (Tools - Action Wizard) with the following code:
var sigField = this.addField("Signature1", "signature", 0, [10, 67, 122, 24]);
var mySignatureProfileFilePath = "/C/Users/YOUR_USER_NAME/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Acrobat/DC/Security/TEST.pfx"; // ADJUST TO ACTUAL FILE PATH ON YOUR COMPUTER
var myPassword = "ABCD1234"; // ADJUST TO ACTUAL PASSWORD FOR THE PROFILE SELECTED ABOVE
var myEngine = security.getHandler( "Adobe.PPKLite");
if (myEngine.login(myPassword, mySignatureProfileFilePath))
sigField.signatureSign( myEngine, { password: myPassword});
else app.alert("Error! Could not login to the Security Handler.");
This will add a Signature field to the bottom-left corner of the first page and then sign it using the specified signature profile. However, you might be prompted to save the file manually after doing so... If it's not, add a Save command to your Action, after the command that executes this JS code.
