Depending on how you would like the pages to display on each other, you could use either Document > Background > Add/Replace or open the Layer navigation pane, select the flyout menu and select Import as Layer.

Sorry but that doesn't work in the way RockChalk22 wants - the OCG and background/watermark tools will only import a single page and replicate it across the pages of the active document, irrespective of how many pages are in the source file.

You can do it with a console script, provided you know the two documents have the same page counts and the source file is in a known location:

Paste this into the JS console (CMD-J or Ctrl-J), edit the filename, select it all and press ENTER:

for (n=0;n<this.numPages;n++) {

this.addWatermarkFromFile({

cDIPath: "/C/myfolder/sourcefile.pdf",

nSourcePage: n, nStart: n});

}

For more options such as scaling and opacity, see the Acrobat JavaScript API documentation.

Hello Dave M and others,

This script was really useful. Is there a way to replace the ".addWatermarkFromFile"-part with ".addBackground.." ... and to specify that the background goes as the BOTTOM layer (behind all other page items)?

There's no 'addBackground' method - instead you set the bOnTop parameter to false.

for (n=0;n<this.numPages;n++) {

this.addWatermarkFromFile({

cDIPath: "/C/myfolder/sourcefile.pdf",

nSourcePage: n, nStart: n, bOnTop: false});

}
