hi-
does anyone know a way to automate or batch create watermarks based off a list or database?

My basic problem is that when i watermark i have to use the single recipients name as the watermark, but it is always on 1 document at a time. However i must do this for approximately 300 people (300 people, 300 different watermarks, 300 different files to print and distribute)

does anyone know a way to automate, script, or somehow batch process this so i can basically create a database and have acrobat process the watermarks and print the documents from that list so i do not have to repeat myself 300 times?

any help is extremely appreciated
-Alex

that's exactly what I'm researching.. I have between 500-3000 pdfs that I want to embed with a watermark based on a database field.

I found a product called iText (http://www.lowagie.com/iText/) that I'm hoping might work, but am very interested in any other products that would help
