If you consequtively load each FDF file into the PDF you will get a merged set of comments. This is actually the idea behind comment and review. The comments are not replaced, they build up a history of what's been done to the PDF.

It looks like your doing some pretty sophisticated work with the review process. Not many people go so far with this process. Congradulations.

How can we merge multiple PDF forms with different page size (A4 / A3) and orientation (Portrait / Landscape) be done in a single PDF file?

Use the "Combine Files" feature.

A quick question to the guru :)

- Is there anyway to automatically merge two sets of pdf's on top of eachothers as layers.

Imagine one file with 10 backgrounds, another file with 10 text layers, yet another with 10 website addresses.

I know this can be performed manually, but it takes a lot of time! Tips on commercial solutions are very welcome as well.

Thanks for letting me borrow this thread!

That is called imposition, not merging. It can't be done in Acrobat on it's own (unless you do it manually), but you can use an external plugin like Quite Imposing: http://www.quite.com/imposing/

Understood, thanks, I found PDFSnake as well, and I believe that ARTS PDF have a solution for it as well. But I believe that there has to be a script for the same functionality?

You can probably do it using the addWatermarkFromFile()-method.
