Pictures with label & caveat

Okay, this is like an algebra problem to me (and I always despised algebra).

I have 250 photographs(jpeg) that I need to convert into PDFs. Each photo needs to have a visible label that's the same as the file name. Each photo needs to have a caveat (copyright.all rights reserved...etc.) and preferably not on the photo itself. The photos are spread across 10 folders - I then have to create bookmarks for each folder and then each of the photos in that folder.
Question - Is there any automated features of Acrobat 9.0 Pro that I could harness to make this less time consumming? (Currently, I'm inserting each picture into Word, typing the label, inserting the caveat as a footer, saving as photo file name and then I will mass convert to PDF and create the bookmarks)

Any help would be appreciated. Oh yeah, I have to have it done by tomorrow.

OK - the caveat will be the same for all 250 pages so I can add that a a footer. Can the header be generated from file name some how?

Adobe Bridge is your friend for such things...

Use the PDF contact sheet output option, but set the layout to 1x1 so each photo gets its own page.
