Okay,

I would like to add a watermark to a folder of .bmps. The watermark will be the individual/unique filename. Is there a way, using the advanced/batchprocessing/"add watermark and background" function to accomplish this?

I was thinking there could be a special character to point the watermark text value to the filename...

Or is code needed?

danke,

BMPs? Are you sure you're using Acrobat for this? It sounds like a job for Photoshop...

try67,

Acrobat works great at both batch watermarking the bmps and reducing size.

i have found the following code (from stevewareham.com) that does almost what i need. But I need to assign the source file name to a variable.


var myTopStamp = "Topstamp";
var myLowerStamp = "Lowerstamp";

var pageAmount = this.numPages; // Finds the length of the PDF

// Stamping is achieved by using the "addWatermarkFromText" method
this.addWatermarkFromText({
cText: "Single page stamp " + myLowerStamp,
nStart: 0,
nEnd: 0,
nFontSize: 8,
nTextAlign: app.constants.align.left,
nHorizAlign: app.constants.align.left,
nVertAlign: app.constants.align.bottom,
nHorizValue: 20, nVertValue: 20
});

You can't edit BMP files in Acrobat. They have to be converted (or embedded) into a PDF first.
And you can access a file's location using this.path .
