Batch process form field?

This can be done with a script, using the addField method.
The information you need is the field's name, type, page number and coordinates.
The most tricky one is the coordinates. I prefer to do the following:
- Draw the field you want by hand. Let's say it's called Text1.
- Then you open the JavaScript console (Ctrl+J) and execute this code:

this.getField("Text1").rect

- This will produce a list of 4 numbers. Copy them and then use them to create your batch script, which should look something like this:

this.addField("MyField", "text", 0, [1,2,3,4]);

([1,2,3,4] being the numbers you got from the earlier steps)

For more information about the addField method and its parameters check out the Acroabt JavaScript Reference, under the Document Methods section.

I have printed out your answer and am going to get out my acrobat books to see if I can figure it out. I really have no clue how to do javascript in acrobat and need to read up on the basics first. I thank you for your help.

I did figure out if I combine all the pdf docs in to one file. The draw one box, I can duplicate it through out the whole 30 pages. Then extract them all to separate pages. I am still working out how to bulk rename all the files so they are not called binder but I think I can change that if the bulk processing security I add.

Good luck!
And you can contact me personally if you wish me to develop this script for you.
