I am trying to use vbScript to insert date and image file into a pdf document

Hi All,

I am trying to use vbScript to insert date and image file into a pdf document. The image file is a custom graphic (jpg format) that is an approval of the document from the boss.

I have installed the Acrobat 5 SDK and have been playing around with some of the scripts that merge documents but have not been able to figure out how to send the date and image. Need more documentation?

I would be grateful for any help and upgrading to VB6 is OK if needed.

here is a sample javascript that does what I want but I do not know how to send it to adobe. i believe that it uses FDFTOOLKIT?

var lastPage = this.numPages - 1;
var todaysDateStr = util.printd("mmmm d, yyyy", new Date());
try {
      var dateFieldExists = false;
      var fDateSigned1 = this.getField("dateText");
      if (fDateSigned1.name == "dateText")
        { dateFieldExists = true; };
    } catch(e) {
      console.println("\n field dateText does not exist, field will be added");
};

if (dateFieldExists)
  { var fDateSigned = this.getField("dateText"); }
else
  { var fDateSigned = this.addField("dateText", "text", lastPage, [30,30,115,48]); };


fDateSigned.defaultValue = todaysDateStr;
fDateSigned.fillColor = color.white;
fDateSigned.textColor = color.red;
fDateSigned.textSize = 0;
fDateSigned.alignment = "left";
this.resetForm(fDateSigned);

try {
      var signatureButtonExists = false;
      var fSignatureButton1 = this.getField("signatureButton");
      if (fSignatureButton1.name == "signatureButton")
        { signatureButtonExists = true; };
    } catch(e) {
        console.println("\n Button signatureButton does not exist, button will be added");
};

try {
      if (signatureButtonExists)
        { var fSignatureButton = this.getField("signatureButton"); }
      else
        { var fSignatureButton = this.addField("signatureButton", "button", lastPage, [240, 30, 528, 140]); };

      fSignatureButton.buttonPosition = position.iconOnly;
      var returnCode = fSignatureButton.buttonImportIcon("/c/Aesop/coffman/Signature/jbc-eastern.pdf", 0);
      fSignatureButton.buttonScaleWhen = scaleWhen.always;
      fSignatureButton.buttonScaleHow = scaleHow.proportional;
    } catch(e) {
      app.alert(e);
      console.println("\n Exception while trying to access signatureButton: " + returnCode);
};

this.resetForm(fSignatureButton);
