Apply Watermark with VBA

You can apply watermarks with JavaScript using two functions, "this.addWatermarkFromFile()" and "this.addWatermarkFromText()", and you can do it from your VBA program.

Here's the method:

1. Create a folder level JavaScript file with a function for adding your watermark. If you need to use "this.addWatermarkFromFile()" you'll have to make it a trusted function. Find details for this code in the Acrobat JavaScript Reference.

2. Use the PDDoc.GetJSObject() function to get direct access to the Acrobat JavaScript Envronment and call the function for adding your watermark.

Hello,
I have almost 4000 TIF file in a directory and I should create 4000 .pdf file and add a watermark in ever page from a file .bmp.
I use acrobat 7.0 and I would use a VBA routine from MS EXCEL.
Is it possible? What do I need?
I don't know JavaScript.
Thanx, Francesco.

Yes this is possible. But there is an easier way. Use a batch process. The "Advanced > Document Processing > Batch Process..." menu item in Acrobat Professional 8 and 9. A batch process can both convert the TIFFs to PDF and add a watermark. No scripting necessary.Thom Parker

Using VBA in Excel, I create several pdf documents as an output from Excel. I want to add a jpg image as background to the pdfs. I created an Action to do this, but I want to fully automate the process. Can I call the doc object from within Excel, or is this a post-export process? Code suggestions are greatly appreciated. thx kdl
