I want to automate the process of applying individual watermarks and print a large number of PDF files.My main .pdf file processing program is Adobe Acrobat Pro XI.Acrobat has an “Actions” function that can be used for batch processing, including watermarking, but there is no way to pre-specify individual watermarks for each file with this function.Thus, some kind of user script seems like a natural solution.Acrobat supports JavaScript, but I don’t know exactly how to use it.
In short, I need to do batch add watermark to pdf of my folder for quickly sending them to the team. Please tell me the quick and reliable solution to batch watermark PDF files.
