Hi,

I've got two 375 pages PDF-documents - one with all text, one with all images.

Now I want to merge both into one PDF file: The image-PDF should provide the backgrounds for the text-PDF so page 1 of the image-PDF will be the background of page 1 of the text-PDF, page 2 of the image-PDF will be the background of page 2 of the text-PDF and so on.

If I'm using the Documment.Background.Add, Acrobat is placiing page 1 of the image-PDF to ALL pages of the text-PDF...

Has anyone an idea how to achieve this other than clicking every page single???

Thanks a lot for any advice!!!

Hi,
Something that may help.

With the "Add Background" dialog open, look to the upper right for the "Page Range Options..." link.
The Page Range Options dialog permits selection of:
--| All Pages (the default)
--| Pages from : --- to ---
--| Subset:
All pages in range
Even pages only
Odd pages only

Be well...

Be well...

Hi,

yes I've seen that and played around with it.

But this option seems to define only the selection of which pages will [b]get[/b] the background. And all of those pages will be provided with the one [b]same[/b] background, since I only have the chance to select one page as the background provider in the source section of the "Add Background" dialog :(

Isn't there a way to simply copy layers from one PDF file to another??? Then I simply would copy the text layer containing all 375 pages of text to the image PDF...

Thanks again,
Grit
