How do I batch insert stamps?

Hi Kimelch,

You could do that with a custom script, but does it have to be a stamp? There is a built-in Batch Process command for adding a Watermark. When you create the Batch process and use Add Watermark you can browse to the file with the stamp image and add it that way. Of course when it gets added it is a watermark, not a stamp. So it depends on whether a watermark will suffice for what you want to do. Not sure if that will help but it is a way to do it without a custom script.

Hope this helps,

Hi Dimitri,

Thanks for the quick response! No, that won't work. The stamp has some javascript that will only work if it's a stamp, and not if it's a watermark. (I've figured out that much.)

Do you have any ideas on how to proceed with the custom script?

Thanks,

Kimelch

Hi Kimelch,

Adobe has a doc with sample scripts that includes one for inserting a stamp in the center of the first page of all files in a folder-

Look in the category "Inserting Comments and Form Fields"

Of course you will need to alter it for your particular needs but that should get you started.

Dimitri,

Very cool, very helpful. I think it's almost there....

I can insert A stamp, but I don't see how to insert MY stamp.

I'm going to try to keep working on it, but thought I would ask in case it's something really obvious. I should learn java.
