Hi!

I need to create a program, script or something similar to be able to fill many PDF files form fields on Windows.

Text fields are very easy to manage in many languages, instead an image field is more complicated when you need to put inside a PDF file and not an image (PNG, JPG and so on). I tried many third party libraries without success.

How can I achieve this? I can use vbs or other programming languages without problems. What I searching is an hint and some examples to find the right solution.

Thank you.

You can use JavaScript to do it. Read the documentation of the buttonImportIcon method of the Field object.

But is it possibile to execute javascript from outside the document via command line? I can't find examples about this.

No, not possible.

mmm ok, so basically this is not what I need.

I'm searching a way to do this running Acrobat or everthing else from the command line.

I can't find any solution. Do you have other suggestions?
