Add Header and Footer to each Page of the PDF-Document via VBA

Hello guys,

 

I have no clue how to add Header and Footer to my PDF-document.

 

I must be able to understand this:

  1. Merge more PDF-documents.
  2. Determine which Format each Page has [A4, A3, A2, A1, or none of these]
  3. Write "Page x of N" to every single page of that document in the footer (down in the Right Corner).
  4. Write the Document ID in the header (up in the Right Corner).
  5. Write the Document Name in the (middle of the) header.
  6. Write other document-related entries in the (middle of the) footer, such as "DRAFT", "CONFIDENTIAL" etc.
  7. None of the entries are allowed to overlap each other

 

I was trying to find the solution by searching the internet. I am not looking for entire solution. Moreover, I would like to understand the principles of the tools, to be able to control them.

 

jso.AddFiled

For the start, I would like to understand jso.AddFiled("Textfeld" & i, "text", i Array(0, 0, 50, 13)).

I was playing with the parameters of the Array(x1,x2,x3,x4). But I could not discore their meaning. Only thing, I discovered is, x2 and x4 determine the height of the Text-Box, which is inserted on every footer. At the beginning, I thought, they stand for the coordinates, which are related to DIN A4. But, the more I play with them, the less I understand them.

 

Question:

  • Can you please guide me?

Hello guys,

 

luckily, I figured a lot myself. However, ...

 

Remaining Questions:

  1. Why is objTextfeld01 always putting the same text into each Text-Box?
  2. How can I arrange Text in some of the Text-Boxes to be centred?
  3. How can I paint the background color of some of the Text-Boxes into white? (now they are all transparent)

 

Thanks

1. You use the same name for the text fields.

See if you can do what you want in the form editor; you may be just trying to push form fields beyond their purpose (i.e. filling forms). As noted, if two form fields have the same name, they are the same field, and have the same contents. Is centering an option in the UI? Is a white background? The UI gives access to everything form fields can do, pretty much, so there's no point looking beyond that. Though a detailed reading of all the field methods and properties can't hurt in case there is an inventive combination available.

Thank you, I've just tried it. It worked. 

However, the member "Test Screen Name" suggested for me to use so-called "addWaterMarkFromText"

 

So, I'll have to dig deep into it.

The information you need is in the Acrobat SDK, which has thousands of pages of detailed documentation. You cannot (easily or well) learn to program Acrobat by web searches.

By the way, have you considered the use of addWaterMarkFromText? There is a significant overhead to working with form fields, and you look as if you may be generating thousands. If you MUST generate thousands, at least use heirarchical names (a.b.c etc.) to reduce the name table lookup time.

addWaterMarkFromText?

I don't even know what it is. Hm, So I'll have to start all over again. 

 

Questions:

  1. Do you have any example of most important ingredients how "addWaterMarkFromText" is used?
  2. Do you have any short example how 2 Form-Fields are inserted on the same page with different content?

 

Thank you anyway.

Please let us know if anything in the documentation of addWatermarkFromText is unclear. It seems pretty comprehensive to me, but there is always room for more clarity.

This Documentation is not helpful at all: LINK 

 

Question:

  1. Navigation on PageHow can I insert ID-No2 just below the ID-No1 in the header (Up Right)?
  2. Navigation on PageHow can I insert Document-Title, just below the "PROTECTED" in the header (Up Middle)?
  3. Watermark vs. Form-Fields: Are addWatermarkFromText supposed to be that slow? Did I do something wrong? I am asking because, the procedure with watermarks is extremely slow, ... ca. 50 times slower than with Form-Fields

"This Documentation is not helpful at all:"

Really? How else would you have known the correct syntax?

 

"Navigation on Page: How can I insert ID-No2 just below"

You have to know the coordinates. 

"Navigation on Page" Ditto

"Watermark vs. Form-Fields: Are addWatermarkFromText supposed to be that slow? "

That is surprising. But it may be just how it is. My comments on form fields, however, come from what the end user may experience. It may be a trade off. Form fields are also just ignored by some PDF viewers, and widely lost when printing; another reason not to use them for adding general text. addWatermarkFromText seems to be the mainstream alternative.

"...Really? How else would you have known the correct syntax?..."

I've googled for a similar problem, then I did try-and-error tactic.

Documentation, 0 help.

 

"...You have to know the coordinates. ..."

--> WOW, amazing reply. fascinating

 

This is one of the most unempathetic forums, I ever visited.

Good luck with the strategy of not using the documentation first and often. 

For Acrobat programming, my experience is Google 0, Documentation 1. Well, documentation 0.8, sweat and swearing 0.2.

Good luck also with your strategy of alienating the people who might have chosen to help you. Let us know how that works out.

So far, your input was just slightly above 0 (documentation + coordinates + watermarks).

Google algorithm is more humane in communication than you.

It seems to me that I have to use plyres to pull words out your mouth.
