Hi group I'm looking for some sort of app that automatically (from command line/script) can waterstamp a pdf-file, or merge a picture/text on each page. It seems that pdf toolkit can't do it, if I understand things correctly.
Yes, pdftk can: background <background PDF filename | - | PROMPT> Applies a PDF watermark to the background of a single input PDF. Pass the background PDF's filename after background like so: pdftk in.pdf background back.pdf output out.pdf Pdftk uses only the first page from the back- ground PDF and applies it to every page of the input PDF. This page is scaled and rotated as needed to fit the input page. You can use - to pass a background PDF into pdftk via stdin. For backward compatibility with pdftk 1.0, back- ground can be used as an output option. How- ever, this old technique works only when no operation is given. You could also use the latex pdfpages and graphicx packages (\includepdf, \includegraphics). -- Mark Knoop
