Batch image merge? In need of automation

I'm creating customized forms using Acrobat and some elements of LiveCycle. I've managed to get the first (of 20) form to work and look pretty great. My challenge is: The form is for a cooperative that has 28 members. Each member wants the identical form, but with their logo and their address/name throughout. The text parts seem easy: Find/replace, or make a field that they can write in their name. The part I'm more worried about is how to place their logo on each one without having to go in individually on each of the 20 forms, for each of the 28 coops.


Any headache saving advice? Is there anyway to designate a drag-drop region using Acro or LiveCycle?

Thanks in advance for anything at all!

Hi,

Here is a solution based on kingphysh's secret space: https://acrobat.com/#d=YFdtzhiH6sI2zwCADuN1Tw

It is based on an authorised person knowing the required input to the first three fields (in red text in this example). When entered a hidden subform is made visible. The data inputted in here (including the image) have global binding to objects on the form.

Note that the imageField on the main form has script in the docReady event so that its access is set to ReadOnly.

It would also be worth looking at John Brinkman's blog for embedded v linked images: http://blogs.adobe.com/formfeed/2009/11/linked_vs_embedded_template_im.html

Good luck,

Niall
