Hi all,
 
I need to insert a unique ID field in each of a batch of PDFs - there will be too many to do it manually.
 
Has any one any suggestions as to how to accomplish this?
  
Thanks in advance.

Use the addField method to insert the field. See my first reply here on how to do it:

You can use the Date object to create a unique identifier, by setting the field's value like so:
f.value = new Date().getTime();
