To do stamps on every page

Question

Hi, Dear Friends!

I have a PDF file of over a thousand scanned images. I have to review each page to see if the scan is correct. I don't always do one page after another, but I jump around. Is there a way to put something like a check box on every page (in one action) that I can check when I have finished reviewing that page?

Thank you, and have a good day!

Yes, but not using stamps. You need to use form fields for that. Go to Tools - Prepare Form, then use the Add New Field tool to draw a check-box on the first page.

Then right-click that field (still in Prepare Form mode) and select Duplicate Across Pages. This will allow you to create duplicates of this field to all other pages of the file. However, those duplicates are just that, duplicates, so if you tick one box, all of them will be ticked. To get around that you would need to use a script that renames those fields, like this (paid-for) one I've developed:

Another option is to create the fields from the start using a script, and then they could have a unique name.
