Hi All,

Just wondering if someone could give me a pointer in the right direction.

I have got a PDF which i have put some Form buttons onto and setup. Now what I would like to do is copy them across around 50 other documents, is there a batch way of doing this or is it a case of copy and paste on each one?

Thanks for reading :)

I am using Acrobat Pro V8.0

The only way I can think of right now how to do this would be to use a JavaScript in a batch sequence to programatically make the buttons on the pages in the documents.

The Acrobat JavaScript Reference has an example of how to programatically make buttons.

Thom Parker has a tutorial on [url=http://www.acrobatusers.com/tutorials/2007/js_add_buttons_to_pdf/]Automatically add buttons to a PDF[/url] which might be useful as well.
